PND
Show your support
I'm in the process of being diagnosed with it at the moment. I've self referred to IAPT but won't hear from them until an assessment at the end of the month. It's really rough, but I'm hoping we all get through it. Good luck mumma
I haven’t this time but with my 1st I had horrendous anxiety which caused low mood and it’s all bundled under the same pnd label by most drs. Depending on how you get on with your health visitor reach out mine added extra visits last she came round just for a natter I could discuss any of the thoughts that were going round my head relating to worries about baby and she offered reassurance on what was normal which 99% was my brain would just take its panic to the extreme. I did cbt which I didn’t think would help but was very surprised. I recently completed another course through pregnancy as I had a previous loss and my anxiety was at its worst. I was seen pretty quickly and found the support amazing. I’ve had my moments this time and likely to have more knowing where to reach out to and having some things in place has really helped.
Most important thing to remember is it’s completely normal so many women go through it our body has just done this incredible thing, our lives have changed, our brain chemistry will never be the same again,hormones are still all over the place etc be kind to yourself you will get through it. Keep reaching out ❤️
Hello, I have some anxiety & get sad when I think about the birth. I’ve spoken to my GP who has given me a number to make a referral to speak to someone about it. I also have a session at the hospital to discuss what decisions were made & why. I’m hoping it will help. These might be some good first steps to help you. I’m sure you’re doing a great job with your family💜
