Does this sound like PND ?

My baby was born over 9 weeks prem in Dec , I had sepsis and was very sick . He was in NICU for 5 weeks and done really well.

I have another DS , it's also probably worth saying we moved house the week before my baby arrived and relocated over 2 hours away. So ive had a bit going on.

I've often been a bit emotional but put that down to the move , hormones, baby etc. However the last few days I've been really struggling I was EBF mixture of expressed and breast (baby has tounge tie so can be painful ) , but started with a bottle of forumla a day on Friday.

Anyway since about Friday I've been really fuzzy headed and woke up the same today , my whole bodies aching and I just feel glazed. I'm feeling really low . My head just feels foggy like I can't function well at all and like I'm going through the motions . Does this sound like PND ?

My body is also still physical recovering as well

I’m not qualified to diagnose you, OP but it sounds as if you’ve already been through an incredibly difficult and stressful time giving birth with sepsis, then having baby in NICU for 5 weeks. On top of that you moved house to a new location beforehand and you have another DC to care for. It’s a lot to carry and it sounds as if your body is reacting to all of this. A call to your GP wouldn’t do any harm, do you have one now that you’ve moved? Are you receiving visits from a Health Visitor?

I’m wondering what kind of support you have around you?
