Hello all, hope you’re post natal journeys are all going well 🤍.
just a little shameless, needy post tbh looking for some reassurance. Had my second DD almost four weeks ago- relatively straight forward birth and recovering well. I’ve always had a bit of a battle with anxiety/ low mood and the baby blues hit me hard this time round and had some weepy days 3-7. This thankfully lifted and have felt a lot of contentment and gratitude for my two beautiful girls and family. Start of this week I’ve struggled a little with a mood dip and today anxiety is creeping in a bit and am so panicky about developing PND I’m worried this is the start of it or this can still be normal to be a bit down/anxious/ emotional at this stage? I’m sleeping/ eating/ getting dressed/ going out and caring for my children just my mind is a bit of a mess and naturally looking out for any mood changes which is probably not helping either.
I started sertraline in my third trimester as my MH was getting a bit rocky and have been so grateful to have felt a bit better the last few weeks so I’m feeling disappointed if I’m going backwards so hoping this is just hormones?
if you’ve got this far, thank you 🩷
