There's a possibilty I might have antenatal depression

[dizzymare]

If I get to see my gp, can anyone tell me what might happen please. Currently 13 weeks with twins, and things haven't been going well.

Deemented, I hope you're alright. Sorry to make you cry

Do you think a small glass of wine would be ok, I think I deserve it? Although all this crying hasn't helped my chest one bit.

Oh dizzy do call.

I had bad problems when pg with #1 (singleton) but gp wouldn't dx as anti natal dp although prescribed ad's?? It was like I had been possessed...and much like when I had suffered from PMT but not just any old PMT but an M&S PMT (I think it has an official name but can't for the life of me remember...pyschotic PMT?, will come to me)

You really need to remember that HOMROMES and SITUATION really do come into play. And it doesn't matter what the situation is to everyone else, it is your perception and emotions that matter. HTH

Ah, tis ok, Dizzy - it's just the hormones!

And a small glass of wine sounds good.

I think a glass of wine would very much be in order. From my side, I'm now climbing the walls with pure anger because my DH has turned a quick after work meeting into a "the client wanted a beer" and then "just out for a bite to eat with client" and what happens to be a couple of really good work mates who are pissheads.

He is away tomorrow & wednesday too. Deep down know that this is prob v v unreasonable, but I am livid at the moment. This is how it starts with me, pure anger that is quite uncontrollable, I am even thinking out possible scenarios for later when he gets home and every one involves me using violence towards him, chucking him out etc etc. Have to say these chat things are really good for getting things off your chest. By the time I've finished this, I do actually realise that I am being completely ridiculous.... even though I haven't quite calmed down...

I didn't wait for the permission

There's a very nice zinfandel sat next to me, it's just a shame I'm doomed to one glass now

That would piss me off too lynne! Would a small galss of wine be out of the question for you aswell, I hate to drink alone

glass and I've only had a sip!

Ha ha. I'm never usually one for just a glass... trouble is, another horrid thing I get with pregnancy is a complete turn-off from alcohol. Find it all too acidic and yukky. Tell you what though, I can manage a shandy - I'll pour one and join you in a tipple

LMAO!!

So, do you feel any... calmer now, Dizzy? Perhaps a little more in control? I know that's one thing that does me in, not being in control. Not that i'm a control freak or anything. Oh no.

Calmer - yes

More in control - right now, yes, but ask me again in an hour . These babies seem more in control of me than I am

Enjoying my wine - ooohhh yes!!

Lol, i'm glad. Here's hoping that tomorrow won't seem so daunting when you come to face it.

Can I pretend you didn't just mention tomorrow, I very nearly lost my heart in my mouth I wondered whether to say I need an emergency appointment, but our receptionist is a nosy old cow and always asks why

Sorry. I've an appointment with my doctor tomorrow too - lets be nervous together.

When I call, nearly typed if, I need a quick appointment or I'll end up procrastinating over it and might end up not going. But, if I can get in to see my dr tomorrow I won't have the chance to do that, like strike whilst the irons hot kind of thing?

That's all really bad grammer

Morning Dizzy.

How'd you sleep? Hopefully you managed to get some rest.

Don't forget to ring for an appointment today - strike whilst the irons hot and all that.

Morning Dizzy. How are you? Where do you live btw? Anyway near N London/Herts? If so, I could deffo hold your hand and moan on your shoulders too!!

So my DH got in last night about 12:30, proceeded to try to wake me up with "fancy a shag?" which drives me bonkers, I ignored him, he said, "take that as a no then", then made as much noise being drunk in the bedroom as possible, proceeded to try to take over most of the bed in a comatose state, snored v v loudly, kept falling out of bed.... jesus, how I didn't resort to violence I don't know. I was dreaming of cutting off his nose with a scalpel to stop the snoring and also dragging him out of bed (if I had the strength to move a dead weight) by his ears and hair and throwing him down the stairs. He probably still wouldn't have woken up.

OK - nearly 8.30, your GP should soon be open... x

I don't know if anyone has linked this long running thread, but it may help a bit to read what others have gone through.

I've got an appointment at 2.20, I cried down the phone even though I was trying hard not to

Ds is staying with granny until after tea and today's looking and feeling grim

Well done on getting an appointment - that's the first hard part over with.

You can do this, Dizzy, you can - and we're all here to hold your hand.

I feel like I need to hide today, infact I'm not even out of bed, have had nothing to eat or drink, and pretty much couldn't give a stuff. And I don't know why but I'm conscious I'm holding my breath alot, not as in until I go blue, but just not breathing properly. And I know I'm doing it but still can't stop like it's not a controlled thing.

Definately mention it to the doctor, Dizzy.

Hope she listens to your concerns x

The person due in after me's going to mighty pissed off, I think I might be in there a long time. There's so much to say, but I'll end up in tears so I won't be able to talk properly. Mums suggested jotting a few bits down, so I'm going to try and get that done before I go, but firstly I need to push myself to actually get out of bed.

Writing things down is a bloody good idea. Not just to show the doctor, but also to help you process things in your own mind too.

Don't feel too bad about not being out of bed yet - i've been up since 6 with dd, but i'm still in my jimmers - i'll get dressed when it's time to go to the docs...

What times your appointment deemented? I've been considering leaving mine on under my clothes

Mine's 2.40, so not too far after yours. It's the 'nice' doctor i'm seeing so i'm hoping she'll listen and will hopefully prescribe me something stronger then paracetamol!
