Hi ladies
At 7 weeks with my first son I suffered from severe pnd and anxiety. After seeing a superb psychiatrist and taking the perfect anti-depressent suited for me I slowly got better and have been off my meds since last May. (I conceived my son through ivf)
I fell pregnant naturally last December which was a huge shock but my second son is now 3 weeks old.
I have bonded with him really well this time unlike with my first which I obviously have a lot of guilt about.
The last week or so I have started developing the dreaded nighttime anxiety which I had with my first which developed into full blown panic attacks every night. Mu second son has severe reflux so feeding and sleeping at night is a bit of a nightmare.
I am petrified I am going down the same road again but then I can rationalise in the day that I am just overwhelmed by having a newborn again and a toddler.
Any stories, advice would be so appreciated!
Thinking about booking an appointment today to see the gp to discuss how I'm feeling.
