Almost due and very scared!!

[anonmom]

Hi all..

Had to post just to share how im feeling with you..My 2nd babys due in 4 weeks and im still suffering bad pnd after the birth of my LO 18 months ago..

Instead of feeling excited about my LO arrival i am absolutely terrified of having a setback im trying not to worry myself too much as i kno i will make myself worse but at the moment im finding the whole situation hard to deal with my LO has been so naughty lately i find myself stressed all the time scared incase i lose it with her although i know i never would.

Has anyone else felt this after suffering pnd then fallin pregnant again so soon? Im so scared im going to crackup or have a nervous breakdown..I just feel so helpless i want to run away from my family as it would be better for them without me and maybe then everything will just disappear

I feel so scared and alone right now I dont know if its because im due my LO in 4 wks or what if im back at were i started when i first got pni 18 month ago..Sorry to go on i just need someone to talk to right now i feel all alone

Hi anonmom,

I am sorry that I cannot say much in the subject as I only have the one child, but I will say that statistically things are on your side not to suffer again. And even if you do feel it coming back to you, you know exactly what to do this time to nip it straight in the bud.

Your hormones are raging and it is a stressful time in pregnancy for anyone with or without PNI, so just try to accept it as normal and make the most of the times when you can relax. I know that is easier said than done!

Keep talking here if it helps and let us know how you get on with your last month of pregnancy and the birth??

Take Care

Hi WG

Thanx for the reply..My MW is hopefully gettin sum sort of hormone injection for me as soon as i give birth which will hopefully have sum effect and not make me dip anymore..I kno there is support for me once i have baby if needed!!

Im a natural born worrier without having the pni!! Doesnt help much lol but i think im probably worrying myself more by thinking the worse about the birth etc and how i will feel im only going by how i felt after havin my LO 18 month ago.

I will keep talkin on here i tend to come and go really and only post when im having a shit day!! Or week as i am now :@ As i know im not the only mom feelin the way i am right now and this site helps a lot to think im not suffering alone thanks for lissening ill keep you posted

Hi

I think it's only natural to worry when having another baby but sounds as everyone is clued up so if you do start going downhill there's support around - forewarned is forearmed!

I had no3 9 mths ago and was very worried about PNI but so far seem ok. Try and avoid any known triggers (easier said than done I know) and ask for help as soon as you need it.

All the best

Love

Monica
