Struggling

Not sure where you are but can you ask midwife for a referral to the maternal mental health team?

Ive only had 1 baby and shes two am still feeling like this

They have online counselors you could try- better help worked well for me. Or cerebral was good. Would you be able to hire someone to help with the 13 month old and clean the house while you slept?

I’m based in Kent uk. I think I’ll do this actually. I have a midwife appt coming up next week. Thank you

We have a cleaner once a month but financially still trying to get our money back up from the last maternity leave and now baby no2 with financial struggles. Just feel like I’ve been making series of bad decisions and my life is going downhill. I’ve always been an ambitious goal getter and so positive and I don’t know. This is just hard and a tough place to be. Feel like I’ve failed somehow

Hi! So sorry that you’re feeling like this. I’m also based in Kent if you want to message / talk I’m here. We’re all here for you Mumma ❤️

The first step is asking for help and that is what you have done / are doing. It’s so normal to feel the way you do and I’m sure a lot of mums on here will relate. Things will always get better xx

I really struggled with my mental health through my pregnancy. My family didn’t get it at all and I was told to “just be happy”.

Firstly I need you to know is you have not failed. You have not failed yourself or your family. You are an amazing Mumma.
I’m so glad you are reaching out for help. I was placed on medication for anxiety through my pregnancy and it helped me so much.
Our families might not get it but if you need to someone to chat to I am here if you need to reach out. ❤️
