Gave birth to my second child 13 weeks ago, also have a 4 year old DS. I am at home with both kids on Mon & Tues, then Wed and Fri the oldest has nursery, my DH is home with us on a Thursday.

Have been feeling increasingly anxious / tense. Back is aching by the end of the day and I have to remind myself to drop my shoulders and unclench my jaw. I keep having dreams about getting admitted to hospital and having to stay in and feeling really pleased about having a break. I also keep feeling intense rage, sometimes towards my children. I sometimes shout and I have pushed a dummy in a little too roughly when really stressed out. I have been crying most days when I feel overwhelmed. I think its all much worse when I have a rubbish night and feel extra tired the next day.

I had PND with my first and went to therapy for 6 weeks. I just feel so angry and emotional all the time right now.

It could be of course. It certainly warrants an appointment with the GP/HV.
If it is PND, you've conquered it once and can do it again, as much as it's an extra burden you could do without. Sorry you're having such a hard time - do whatever you need to get through and ditch the mum guilt for a few months until you're put the other side. You CAN do it.
