I keep thinking about killing my baby

I'm not going to- I really love him. I just keep having these thoughts.
I don't want to talk about it because it's so awful but I don't know how to make it stop.
I'm looking after both my kids atm so might not reply very quickly to any response to this- please don't draw any terrible conclusions from this! I am a normal person, I have a lovely life, I promise I won't hurt them.
Any advice?

Hi MargaretHale,

We're so sorry that you're struggling with these thoughts.

We're glad that you're getting lots of good advice here, and that you're going to be seeing your health visitor next week.

In the meantime, there are lots of organisations which may be able to give you some support right now. Please do take a look at our mental health webguide. There are links to The Birth Trauma Association and the Association for Post Natal Illness, amongst others. There's also an organisation called PANDAS (Pre And Post Natal Depression Advice and Support) which we know has helped a lot of people who are feeling as you do. Their helpline number is 0843 2898401.

We really hope you're okay.
