Feel like PND is robbing me of the new born phase

I have a beautiful new baby who is nearly 2 months old. I have been diagnosed with PND.

I feel like the new born phase is being taken away from me as I am not able to enjoy it. I don't cuddle my baby as much as I should and I know I will regret it but I am really struggling to connect with baby.

Does any one have any advice? The baby stage goes so fast and it's slipping away from me.

Hi sadmummy29,

We're sorry you're feeling so low.

We're just giving your thread a bump in case any Mumsnetters are around to give you some support.

In the meantime we thought we'd post some links to the support that's available to you. We'd urge you to take a look at an organisation called PANDAS Foundation which was set up to support families through PND & AND. Their webpage is here and they have a free helpline, available Monday – Sunday 11am-10pm - 0808 1961 776.

Here too is a link to the NHS webpages on postnatal depression.

We really hope things start getting easier for you soon. Flowers
