Can you have PND 1 Year O?

[JollyHostess101]

Just as the title says can I have PND a year on?

My Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer when I was 36 weeks pregnant and then passed away when baby was 11 weeks old! Myself and husband both took redundancy from work and were meant to be having the summer off as family (moved to the coast to live in my old family home) but it’s awful!

Im struggling I feel like im just going through the motions with the baby I don’t enjoy it I’m angry, sad and low pushing my husband away but I know if he goes I’ll be on my own as I have no siblings and no close family! I’m just finding it so hard and feel like I’ve failed!

Im utterly miserable I’m waiting for the GP to call back for an appointment but can I have PND a year in or have I had it all the time and just been pushing through?!

Hi op
first of all big hug. Yes of course you can, some women have it for years after. However what I will say is that you’ve faced some really tough circumstances with your Dad passing away and moving location on top of having a new baby to look after so I’m not surprised you’re telling low, it may not be PND but just a normal reaction to everything you’ve got going on.

also with regards to your husband I sought som advice on here as I’m 6 months PP and I could literally murder mine 😂 apparently it is very normal to not like your partner very much after having a baby even up to a couple of years. Having a baby puts a massive strain on your relationship so don’t beat yourself up about that either.

has the go said when they will get back to you? X

@FTMaz thank you for your reply!

It felt good just to get everything out on here!

the poor GP receptionist had no appointments left so I have to do an e consult tomorrow morning but she was lovely she made me cry!
