New Mum

[Kissmeedeadly]

Hi all,

I delivered my beautiful baby girl on Monday and I love her already with all my being!

Before pregnancy I suffered from severe health anxiety which consisted of both mental and very real physical symptoms. I had a tough time delivering my little one, lost 1300ml of blood.

Since labour i have experienced severe back and breathing problems, dizziness (as if im off balance) and a feeling of being foreign around my surroundings (sort of weird floaty, unlike dream feeling) its horrible!i feel like i want to escape any social occasion.

I just want to say hi and hope that i can speak with similar mums.

Welcome!

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! I'm sorry you're struggling. It sounds as if the birth was quite traumatic with the blood loss. I wonder if that might be the cause for your symptoms? What have Drs said? I think it's important and should be good practice to investigate any physical symptoms as things like blood loss, thyroid issues can cause these.

Saying that the spaced out feeling can be attributed to depression also, talk this over with your dr.

How is the baby doing? You've gone through a lot over this past week - do you have help and support? X
