Yes Jen, you really should see a Doctor hun. Postnatal depression is a very real condition and so many women suffer from it. Don't let it ruin your early days with your beautiful little girl. There is nothing wrong with admitting there is a hiccup and seeking help before it gets worse.

I suffered it with my second child, was put on some tablets for a few months and then slowly lowered the dose until I never took them again. It was no biggie, just a small problem that I worked through with some assistance. I can't remember what tablets I was on because this was 17 years ago.

Best of luck hun xxx

Thank you guys. I took your advice and told him and he was completely fine with it! I was shocked. He said its fine and we won't go. He did ask if his sis can come up and see is which is fine so glad it's all ok now. Sigh of relief.

But have been thinking, midwife said if I am just not happy at all then I need to speak to GP. I have been crying practically all day and really not enjoying being a mum at all and don't want this to ruin such an early important time for me and Anna so I think it's time to call GP. feel sad about it but I just want to enjoy my little girl and right now im not at all. I would die for her butane care for her but only because I feel I have to and not because I want to which makes me feel like a terrible terrible person. Do you guys think seeing a GP is right? Xxx

Definitely speak to the GP. You are doing fantastically already as you are aware of how you are feeling and being honest that this cannot go on. The GP will be able to offer support and medication if necessary but you need to ensure you get as much support as you can. Never feel ashamed of how you feel; you have had a rough ride so far and your hormones are all over the place.

Sending big hugs xx

There's nothing at all to be ashamed of! Anyone who thinks having a baby is all peaches and cream is deluded. Hormones run riot after the birth of a baby and you had a very traumatic delivery which will make it worse for you x

Yeah it does seen to clear their mouths up really quickly her whole tongue was white at first! grace hasn't had trouble with constipation with it, hope the midwife has some answers for you, are you giving him water just before giving him the nystan? Xx

 

[shell1978]

No wasnt told too by doc just to give it to him 4times a day after his bottle x

 

[CeeCee]

I was told to give grace some cool boiled water from the kettle just before the nystan xx

 

[CeeCee]

So grace last had a feed at half three since then I've been up pulling things from behind my wardrobe lol refilling my steriliser, washing up, washing clothes and putting the bins out.. Not a clue why but now I'm back in bed waiting patiently for Grace to wake up for her next feed! Xxx

 

[vinandbella]

Libby woke at 4.30 went back down at about 545 then woke up when daddy's alarm went off at 6.15 *yswn*

Hoping she goes back down for an hour soon.

Morning everyone
