Had a c section at 35 weeks due to waters breaking early and baby boy not growing anymore. It was a rough couple weeks following his birth due to being in the nicu ect.
Came home and have felt fine, but obviously very hormonal so quite irritable and weepy.
4-5 weeks PP and I cannot sleep.. can't fall asleep and if I do fall asleep when I get up to feed the baby I can't get back to sleep. It's like my body isn't tired. It's very irritating, its made me feel angry during the day because I just want to sleep. My appetite has also disappeared.
Fast forward to now 7weeks PP, I can fall asleep but it's always around 2-3am and then up whenever baby wants feeding and at 8am when my first born wakes up.
I don't feel depressed or even anxious, if anything I'm anxious about sleeping now.
Dr's have given me diazepam to take as required but I haven't done so yet because I've managed to fall asleep eventually.
I referred myself to a mental health charity because I've heard sleep problems and appetite problems could be PND..
I'm just not sure what's going on, I've tried everything to get to sleep but it's just not working
