ive made friends with 2 mums last December as their kids goes to my dd1's nursery. The mums are great and we do go to each others houses every week and already had a nightout. We all get on well.
One of the mums got a baby that is 6-7 weeks younger than my dd2 (mine is nearly 8 months old) but it starting to dawn on me that she may have pnd. As her dd only starting to get better with her sleep as before she used to wake up every hour then 2 hours when she was breastfed and now once a night whilst she is bottlefed, (she also got a 4 yrs old ds who doesnt listen to his mum), she says that she only cried when she is having her AF monthly but it seems to come by too often and she already smashed a plate on a wall a few months ago.
We were talking last week about general stuff and she said that she was having her injection inserted at the family planning clinic. She was on her period on that day and was crying. The lady asked if she was ok and asked her to go and see her GP cos she may have pnd, but my friend said "i havent got it, its only when im on", me and my other friend had a talk about her and she was thinking the same thing about her having pnd as we can feel the tension in her voice and body language so therefore her baby cant settle with her but only with her dad and other relaxed people.
We really wants to help her but i havent known her long enough and dont want to lose her too but unsure how do i word it??? (me and my other friend knows whats the prob is, its that her son doesnt listen and her baby got a high pitch scream when she is hungry or tired).
thanks
im nipping out now and will reply back when i return back.
