but fran, i was fine in the end!
i do know exactly how you feel and know there's nothing that can be said as reassurance as somehow you convince yourself of awful things. every birth is different - you wont be crap, you've managed to bring three beautiful babies into the world! you're wonderful! this one will be fine too!
mine was born in october '21st' one day after due date! perfect birth, straightforward -i did most of it at home! only had 2 parecetamol and i was expecting a true horror story.
i remember thinking i wish there was a general anesthetic for this so you go to sleep and wake up and then your baby's just there,
i really believ eyou'll be fine.
love gailxx

also, this is only a suggestion , but ive heard wonderful things about taaking progesterone pessaries during pregnancy - perfectly safe -in fact theyre believe to be benefitial to the baby - . the reason i mention this is that it is believed to prevent occurance/reoccurance of PNI. its called progesterone preventative therapy and is base on the theory that the rapid drops in progesterone after the birth causes pni.
i am taking progesterone pessaries now, they help, but once pni is there it can take a while for p'rone to work- the best way/most powerful way is taking them as a preventative measure ie. during pregnancy if youre feeling a bit weird/ or in the form of an injection straight after the birth.
i think that if i ever have more kids then id give this a try, 'just incase' there is a book on this by katharina dalton who studied this in the 80s i thnk it's called 'depression after childbirth'.
just some ideas that may help you get through?
love gail xxxx
