That just shows how bad it really is, to make women want to do that!! Good job you didn't shave it off WG, it looks gorgeous!

Lou, I though I was bad not sleeping for 5 days. How did you manage for 16??? Did you seek any medical help about it during that time? I'm glad your midwife spotted PP - to be honest I didn't know midwives were clued up about it. Mine didn't seem to be.
I am so glad I didn't get the urge to shave my hair off, how awful if you women had actually done that.

I must admit - no thoughts of shaving head! But in addition to the sleep deprivation, I found the breathing problem distressing. Got checked out in hospital a couple of times, but they found nothing. Was a point where I literally couldn't site down let alone lie down, as I just couldn't catch my breath.

1. Constant distressing, intrusive thoughts about taking my own life and not acting on them 2. Being unable to enjoy anthing, including my son. 3. Existing not living 4. Being in a MBU 5. Decision not to have more kids despite always wanting a few 6.Lost time with my son, partner, friends etc 7. Seeing other mothers who are well and able to enjoy their maternity leave with their lo 8 Forcing myself to go through the motions 9. The total and utter despair and loneliness i often felt despite having a supportive family and partner.
I could probably reel off another 9!

I never noticed this thread before now. I can relate with much of what was said. WG with the hair shaving, couldnt do that tho lol. But mine is very long so just got tied in a knot!
1 The guilt from not enjoying my 1st sons early days the way I did the others 2 The hassle and pain I have caused everyone else 3 The doubt that I may not love my eldest as much as the others and seeing him as the cause

In retrospect, as I am now through it, I think the fear that it would be that bad in the long term was truly awful/ scary... ...plus the deep & perpetual feeling of loneliness..
