Hi,
I'm not quite sure how to put this, but do you think it's possible to have had PND but not had it diagnosed at the time? When I look back at the time following DS's birth, it all looks very bleak. So bleak that it's putting me off having another baby. In fact, the thought of feeling the way I did then is actually very scary to me. The pregnancy was difficult, followed by an emergency section, so maybe that contributed. Pregnancy would likely be difficult again, but manageable. Hopefully the birth would be calmer.
I think I may have known at the time that there was a problem(I've been depressed before, prior to having a child) but didn't admit it to anybody for fear of looking like I wasn't coping.
Any thoughts? Part of me wants a second baby so much, but I'm so scared of how it might affect me.
Thanks.
