Post natal depression???
What were your signs of having post natal depression?
I was in labour for 9 days and it was just horrible from start to finish tbh. I had to argue continuously with doctors just to get what I wanted (like to be in the water during labour etc). Now he's just not sleeping at all. I'm breastfeeding and the longest he's ever gone between feeds is 2 hours and that was when he was first born. Now he seems to wake at 11pm and not go back to sleep till 3/4ish but then wake every hour for a feed. I then have to get up between 6/7 for the other children.
I'm snappy. I'm emotional and crying lots. I'm moody. I have no go about me. I have so much resentment towards my partner and take it all out on him. Even convinced myself he's having an affair.
Am I just deep in the newborn trenches or am I showing signs of PND?

He's 7 weeks this week. I dont feel distant from him. Like I look at him and think "my God I love this boy". It's my partner who's getting all the ill feelings 😬 Thank you x
Had her swaddled and then a big muslin blanket folded in half and tucked under each side of the mattress tight and gently pushed her back to see if she could roll and she couldnt x

How old is baby now ? I accused my partner of an affair at 4 weeks pp and felt very disassociated from baby, I knew I had to take care of her it didn’t have that instant love for her. I was convinced I had postnatal depression, but in the end I think it was just from a traumatic birth. Maybe speak with your GP. Hope everything gets better ❤️
