How d u get over birth trauma, and depression?

[glitzyglamgirl]

Absolutely. Although I have to say the midwife herself was brilliant, Lou was her first delivery as a qualified midwife and she was very emotional and cried just as much as me when she popped out!

Funny thing, Lou now wants to be a midwife

I felt let down by my midwives at the birth of my little girl. Not as bad as you guys but I did suffer from PND and developed a mistrust and dislike of HVs. I just wanted to send anyone who has had a bad time some love and words of support. As someone else said, life is precious. Don't let bad HVs or MWs bring you down. Defy them by being the wonderful mothers you all are. Please don't blame yourself. You are wonderful even for being able to post such traumatic stories to give others hope and comfort that other people have had a bad time too.

Ok I will try to give you a gentle slap with some reality facts.

You need to keep your appointments or if not phone and explain why.

If SS are involved and Health visitors they will be monitoring things like this - and you need to be seen to be helping yourself, otherwise they may think that you are not a fit mother??

Not trying to be hard. I have had depression but 17 years ago so I know how hard it can be when you really just don't want to get out of bed and see anyone or justify yourself to anyone. BUT you HAVE to do it for your children.

Ring the doctors and rearrange your appointment!!!!

I agree with Freya, if you miss appointments it will go down on your record! you need to do everything possible to get ss off your back.
