PND

How does PND present itself?
I'm 3 months in and always thought I was doing really well but lately I have been feeling very blue. It's like I can't enjoy my baby as I keep thinking 'oh this stage won't last long and I want it to last forever' and I'm so consumed with the fact it will be gone in a flash and then I feel really sad.
I also keep thinking about what happens when we die and it's making me a bit miserable.

Does this sound like PND or just hormones getting the better of me? I always thought PND was where you couldn't look after or bond with your baby and this is not an issue for me.

Thanks

It does sound like you may need some additional support Sleepy.

It sounds as though it's worth talking to your HV. She may refer you for CBT or recommend ADs or both. She may also know of some local groups specifically for Mums with PNI.
