I've decided I need to vent and see how others are feeling and whether you think I'm depressed. IT took us two years to josh so he was very much wanted. Everything started to go wrong when I was 33 weeks pregnant when I went to day assessment as I was struggling to breathe after scans they diagnosed me with a pulmory embolism so I spent the remainder of my pregnancy on blood thinning injections. I had a terrible delivery because he was back to back I was not allowed an epidural because of being on blood thinners. THe delivery ended in a failed and a forcepts delivery. I didn't cope with the pain av all. I struggled to breast feed and felt guilty for that plus the delivery but after two weeks I started.to feel better and the cloud lifted. @ love josh so much but I do consider him to be a difficult baby he cries a lot he fights sleep and I feel overwhelmed. I. ARgue daily with my husband because I'm so tired. HE still wants the breast at night and woot settle unless he is sucking but refuses a dummy. I have more days I enjoyuthan I don't but I shout at him because I am tired and I feel trapped. I feel crap as I don't seem to be a good mum at all. I don't feel depressed but I cry a lot normally with him ad feel like running away at times. I'M still on tablets axe injections and feel angry that my health has been effected. EVeryone tells me it will get easier but I don't believe them do I sound depressed

Oh, I just want to give you big hug... I am feeling really low and overwhelmed by everythng and can relate to a lot of what you say.
How long have you been feeling this way? I guess that is the key thing. If this has been going on for mre than a few weeks then I would def say speak to your GP about how you are feeling. Given everything you have been through it s totally understandable for you to feel ths way. Having a baby is such a life changing thing - and I don't think any of us know exactly how we will feel until our babies are here. Some babies are also more demanding than others and with the sleep deprivation it is really hard to feel able to cope.
You are not alone in feeling how you feelm but it's important to get yourself some support if you feel that might help. Xx

Massive I can totally relate to how you're feeling so you're not alone! Sounds like you have been through a lot and no sleep wouldn't be helping at all! I think we all feel like this at some point, its when you feel like this constantly that you should worry.. talk to your hv or someone anyway and see what they say, they will know what's best to do xx

Id mention it to hv, we all feel like this sometimes, but its worth getting the professionals advice, and remember if you need to talk or rant, we're all here. xxx
