Think I may have PND help me please

Right where to start. had my DD 3 and a half weeks ago and since the birth have been feeling low and seem to always be in tears.

I have now got a vaginal infection which isnt clearing up too well and have just got piles.

I seem to find everything really hard work, i don't enjoy spending time with my DD and dread hubby going to work and leaving us on our own, I feel totally overwhelmed with everything. I think back to when it was just me and hubby and wish I had never had the baby as we were so happy before she came along. I can't seem to bond with her and never anticipated how hard it would all be.

I found myself crying in a ball on the floor for an hour today and wished that I was dead so I could get away from it all

I know this isnt normal, I suspose what Im asking is if this is just normal baby blues or should I be making a doctors appointment.

Sorry for rambling
Hope it makes sense

Glad you are feeling a bit more positive. The evenings can be so long can't they- it's normal, new parents are doing the same up and down the land with frantic babies who are crying and crying for no apparent reason. It does go on for a long time, but it does end and you do get your evenings back... eventually. I promise.

So pleased that you feel you are bonding with your DD more. And please don't assume that everyone else's babies are cleaner and tidier- both me and my DD were covered in sick for the first few months, it was a disaster! Good thing we have a leather sofa!

Varicose veins bloody horrible. Many of us have had them, it's just people don't talk about them over coffee to strangers.

I must admit that I threw the monitor away after a while- assumed that if DD really cried I would be able to hear her, and hearing every little snort was just making me tense. I guess it depends how big your house is!

Hope things continue to go well and thinking of you. xx
