Forum : Pregnancy

hi carrie, i know exactly how your feeling.. i am a single mum to twins and have been since i was 7 months pregnant.. when they were born they were such hard work.. i really felt like throwing them out the window :) one day while we were shoppin for an outfit for a friends wedding they wouldnt stop crying, i prayed silently all the way round the shops for them to shut up!! when i went to change there nappies they still wouldn stop, i actually sat and cried with them.. i felt so angry with them, never hurt them, then i would feel so angry at myself for being angry at them, that id cry with guilt!!! viscious circle.. i went o the docs n he said i had mild post natal depression, it was such a relief to know i wasnt clinically insane :) maybe you should have a chat with your doc, its only the chemicals,hormones trying to stabalise its nothing to be embarassed about.. chin up girl and if you ever need to chat ya know where i am xxx carebears

Hi hun, it sounds like you might have a bit of post natal depression, going on, it's quite common, talk to your hv or doctor as they can really help, i have pnd myself so i can understand to a degree what your going through, you've taken the first step by admitting you feel there's something wrong, now take the next step and get yourself some help, i did and i haven't look back since. Take care hun xxxx

i know how you feel. me and my bf argue over the stupidest little things. and although i KNOW i started it, i wont give up until he apologizes. i feel like a child the way i always cry over the silliest things, for eg, i tripped my bf over on accident a few weeks ago, he fell over. and cuz i felt so stupid i burst into tears, he couldnt believe i got so upset over HIM falling over. silly i know.!! You are not alone. pregnancy is a very unusual experience sweet. Good luck

I had terrible post natal depression so know exactly how you feel, when my husband use to leave for work I would sit and cry for hours just looking at my little girl sometimes thinking I hated her!!! She was a very demanding baby, severe colic for almost 9-10 months, reflux, never slept, I had hell for what felt like a life time, now she's 14 months and an absolute joy, guess what I'm saying is stick at it, it does get better and easier eventually, my health visitor helped me encouraged me to go to baby massage classes, playgroups etc etc it helped me bond with my little girl, good luck to you
