Ok you can have a half of Guinness then, it's good for you. How's it going?

susanmt · 22/05/2002 23:08

Not bad - pnd getting me down a bit! Ds is nearly 4 months

Rhubarb · 22/05/2002 23:09

In that case you need 'booze for'e baby!'. You got PND then? That's pretty bad, how're coping?

susanmt · 22/05/2002 23:10

Mumsnet needs a chatroom!!

Rhubarb · 22/05/2002 23:10

You're right there! Maybe we should start one! We've started a virtual pub after all - it's called the Mumsnet Arms by the way!

susanmt · 22/05/2002 23:11

bad today - but tomorrow will be better (keep telling myself that)

Rhubarb · 22/05/2002 23:13

Just take it day by day. Have you tried those Progestrone injections? I had those and they were really good, worked for me. Other than that I just hope you've got a supportive partner and family to help you get through it, and another half a Guinness on the house! Oh I feel like a real landlord that you can tell your troubles too, like in Cheers!

susanmt · 22/05/2002 23:14

I'm on tablets but theyre still not working (put up to TOP dose by doc this week). Trouble is they give me muscle spasms so need valium to sleep. UUUURgh

susanmt · 22/05/2002 23:15

And my dh is a gem. Took a weeks compassionate leave last week to look after me

Rhubarb · 22/05/2002 23:16

Oooh, that sounds bad! Have you looked at the pnd discussions on here? You know, seriously, a bit of alcohol could help to relax you, a glass of red wine each night will help you and baby sleep! Are you getting any support?

susanmt · 22/05/2002 23:16

anyway I am sorry but I am going to bed now as ds will be up at 4 and I need my beauty sleep - BADLY!!!

susanmt · 22/05/2002 23:17

i often have a wee glass before bed - in the bath - very nice

Rhubarb · 22/05/2002 23:19

I've just been raided by the pigs (dh) so have to do too. Time now ladies and gents please!!! Good luck Susan, hope you are feeling better soon!

What's the name of the thread, Dixie? I read things without always registering who the writer is.

I had a very problematic & stressful pregnancy & then had the baby 2 weeks ago, which itself was distressing it's all under the mums-to-be thread & the baby here at last thread.....

Oh no, Dixie this is awful. I've just read your post. Obviously I don't know your situation but is it just that he's overwhelmed at the moment - not an excuse I know but..

Tinker · 02/07/2002 00:08

I feel really helpless here - can you call anyone just to talk and cry with?
