i have a little boy aged 3 and a baby girl 7weeks old and i keep bursting in to tears because i miss being pregnant, i had a pretty rubbish pregnancy so i cant understand why i feel like this. is it strange to say i felt "safe" when i was pregnant and now i suppose i feel a bit vunerable?? i know it has gone through my mind that i have a boy and a girl so i possibly wont have anymore children but i just cant let the "im not pregnant anymore" go.

sorry if this sounds really stupid.

I'm sorry you're feeling so wobbly. Sit tight, you're incredibly hormonal and I think lots of us have felt pretty terrible and tearful with a baby of that age. My only advice would be to try not to spend too much time worrying about it because you can be confident that in a few weeks you will be feeling a lot more balanced. Just look after yourself, make sure you get lots of practical help and I am sure that you'll feel more resilient soon. Personally I find that approach allows me to feel emotional without panicking that I'll feel that way forever.

and let the tears come when they need to - I was a total emotional wreck for the first 3-4months of DS's life but was so desperate for HV's not to label me having PND I let it well up inside and make me feel 10x worse.
