Hi my baby #2 is currently 5 days old. I had PN anxiety and depression after my first and really hated those newborn days until things started to improve around 6 months.
I’ve tried to prepare so that I don’t have a repeat experience however I’m already getting the extreme waves of anxiety that I got last time that come with the hormone flip flop after birth and I’m struggling to stay in control and convince myself that this doesn’t mean I’m going down the same path as last time. Does anyone have any experience of having a baby after PN anxiety and getting beyond the baby blues intact? Or if you had a recurrence, how did you deal with it with a toddler in tow? TIA
