Scan went fine ;D All is fine with little one! I am feeling fine and relaxed. Finally enjoying it all. I got made redundant last week which was abit of a shock  Will be taking the matter further as it all seems abit unfair and discriminatory. I was scared I wouldnt like being at home as I have rather negative associations with it all. I keep thinking i got depressed last time because I was at home alone etc. I expected to feel down but I am actually really enjoying it. I love the freedom. It actually feels strange being a stay at home mum and not feeling miserable. How nice it is without that horrible illness. Its actually worked out so well as that terrible fear of not enjoying my maternity leave has already been faced and conquered to a certain extent. xxx |

Hello all
Good news I have had a baby girl in December! Further good news, I havent got ill this time round. ;D
She is beautiful and I am really enjoying the experience. Its ofcourse really hard looking after a newborn and i am shattered but so nice to be able to do it without being ill this time. I hope this has given hope to those wanting to try again.
I want to say a huge thank you to this site and everyone that supported me through the worst trauma of my life. Especially. to winegirl who gave me so much of her time. I can never repay you all.
Lots of love
Smiley

Hey all I hope you are all well. DD2 is 4 months now and I have been coping well with 2 munchkins Feeling strong and confident. handling the usual stresses well. However, for the past 3 weeks I would say I have been feeling abit wobbly.  Sometimes I fee very irritated and angry to the point of feeling like I will explode! Then on the other hand I am teary and feel abit sorry for myself. I thought this would pass but its been about 3 or 4 weeks now. Obviously, I have bouts of feeling absolutely normal too. I just dont know what to make of it really and I thought I would come on here for some advice and sympathy. Obviously, the anxiety of whether I am getting ill again is high and making things worse for me. I still havent worked out how to seperate normal reactions and feelings to being ill. So this might just be a reaction to stress or could it be the start of something. I dont feel down. DD2 is now more demanding, teething and sleeping less.. the whole tiredness of the last 4 months has kind of enveloped me too. i am breastfeeding so am more emotional and sensitive that I would be otherwise. DH went away for 2 weeks and I had to cope on my own. So its been highly stressful. I thought maybe AF was coming back but no sign of it. I just exhausted really and could do without these mood swings!!! Smily |

Hi Smiley
So please to hear that you and family are doing well!!
Yes, its a tough one, distinguishing between what is `normal' and what is PNI. I think what is importnat is that if you are functioning then all is ok, I think it only because an issue when it is affecting your ability to function if that makes sense..
Alot of what you are experiencing is normal part of motherhood, so I would hang in there and see how you get on. And try not to think too much about it! I know that is often easier said than done, but just go with the flow..
And know that we are here if you need us!
Lovely to hear from you xxx
Take Care
WG xx

Hey WG
Your still sweet as ever and still my lifesaver!!
As soon as I read yr response I felt better. I think I am reacting to stress of motherhood which is probably being intensfied by getting anxious and analysing. Some old habits are hard to break!!! I suppose time will heal? How do you ever get away from that feeling that you may break again like you did before? Just keep faith I suppose??
How are you?
