Since Macey has been around 12 weeks old i have been like jekyl and hyde, my poor OH cant do anything right, one day i can be fine and planning the future, etc etc, the next i hate OH guts and want to leave, he has done everything for us, the cooking, housework, and working full time, i just sit around and cant be bothered to do anything apart from look after Macey, i am fine with her but i must be horrendous to live with!

Probably just the effects of hormones hun 
. Are you breastfeeding? I was a wreck for the whole 5 months I was! It will pass I'm sure. If your feeling really down for a long time I would speak to your HV though.

I was embarrassed talking to HV aswell. But trust me when you start to tell her it will all come gushing out! Getting it off my chest to her seemed to be the cure for me - I really perked up afterwards.
Hope you feel better soon x

I was a bit like this with DD and like Meggiewoo I found that telling someone how I was feeling made a huge difference. Just to admit that I wasn't 100% happy and enjoying being a mum - even though I loved DD totally, just to say out loud that I was finding it hard sometimes was a huge weight off my shoulders. Is there anyone you do feel you can talk to? A friend or family member perhaps?

yes i have two good friends luckily who i can talk to, one who has had PND and keeps telling me to go see my HV and the other who had a baby just before me so we have a good natter about things,
I am 100% loving being a mummy, i have a baby that sleeps well and i really dont have any issues in that respect, i was thinking more about it last night and i have a low red blood cell count following on from being anaemic and i am wondering whether that can effect peoples moods etc, i do forget to take them so that may explain why one week i am fine and the next, maybe i am clutching at straws here!

That could be one of the reasons your feeling like you are. I felt exactly the same a few weeks ago and had no energy so I went to the doctors thinking I ws realy depressed and he said it was due to my iron levels being so low, he increased my dose of iron tablets and I noticed a huge improvement in my mood swings, I felt so much happier and not as tired! See if you can get your doctor to increase your dose of iron tablets and also dried apricots and broccoli have loads of iron in them or so I've been told! Worth a try! Hope you feel better soon
