DD2 is 10 months and we are down to morning, sometimes midday, bedtime and 1 or 2 nighttime feeds.
I have just had my second period since having DD, and am really feeling THE RAGE. I assumed that the Aaargh feeling just before my first period was down to a massive hormone surge and that it would die down. But for the last week or so I have felt continuously on edge - as if i am always a hair's breadth from flipping - so much so that sometimes I feel as if my jaw is permanently clenched. I thought that I might be depressed/a terrible mother/need to get divorced/mightily stressed(!) but have now put two and two together and come up with PMT.
There are other factors (of course) - DH has been working away loads recently, DD1 (just 4) is really pushing her boundaries at the minute, we are meant to be moving house soon, and of course Christmas looming large over the horizon - but it does seem to have been worst in the week prior to period. So, based on my sample group of two(!), I am quite willing to diagnose myself with PMT...
So my questions are - does this sound right? Has anyone else experienced it (I didn't really notice much PMT prepregnancy - maybe a day or so...)? And is there anything I can do about it? Anything I can take while BFing?
Going out soon, so I probably won't answer for a while (not being rude, although based on my atrocious behaviour over the last week, rudeness is always an option
)
TIA
