DT's are 2 and a half and are doing fine after being born at 31+1, after a PROM at 25+3. Very traumatic time with me being in hospital for 6 weeks then they came and were in SCBU for 6 weeks. Then lots of tests to establish if one had some brain damage, and if they both had CF. All clear on all fronts.
Once they had the all clear I had a "wobble" and my HV said she thought i may have PTSD, but there was no follow up and i just got on with it, I did did try and talk to my older sis who is a health prof, but she dismissed me saying it was just motherhood. I have had a major wobble again. Constant headache, no appetite, weepy, tired all the time. DH is really understanding and thinks i need to have some counselling. I've spoken to one of my "SCBU" mummy friends, and she addmitted she had help as have quite a few of the other mums.
Was just woundering if there was anyone else out there who have had "wobbles" and how they coped. I know the twins are fine and have no worries there. just think I never gave myself a opportunity to admit that I have been through a trauma, or deal with it.
Thanks
