Postnatal check

[x-kirsty-x]

I had mine today when Ryan had his 8 week check and the doctor just asked if my wound is healing well and asked how I was feeling.

He gave me a sheet with questions to answer about PND (it was different to the HV one) and when I was done he said I may be suffering from mild depression. I wanted to scream at him that I think its more than that but I didnt want him to make me feel stupid so I didnt. He said he wouldnt give me anything but if I wanted I could make an appointment to see another doctor and maybe get a prescription. Dunno why he couldnt just sort it out for me

I was feeling in quite a good mood today so I think I came across as alright but he hasnt seen me when Im sitting at home with 2 kids feeling like I cant cope.

But anyway, Ryans fine so at least thats one good thing

aww sweety.

don't be afraid to tell your gp / hv how you feel. they are there to listen. Did they offer any help? I went to a group pnd thing, and it was great! we sat around slagging of men and we where also taught coping strategys. it was great to have a place to vent where people understood.

i still have my bad days, but i can cope with them loads better than what i was (this forum is a great help as well! )

take care of yourself. you ever need a chat, we are not far away
