Hello,
Just looking for a bit of support really. It’s my baby’s first birthday tomorrow. I’ve had a hell of a rocky road getting here, traumatic birth and severe PND. Have only really just started bonding with my baby. His birthday, which should be a lovely time, is making me very anxious and all I can think about right now is ‘this time last year’, and all those horrible memories. Has anyone else felt like this? I don’t want my sons birthday to always feel like this

I can totally get how this makes you remember this time last year. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to make it the perfect bday as your dc wont remember it. Just enjoy the day doing something simple perhaps starting a lil bday tradition.
