Hi. A bit shy about posting on here, so changed my name. Plus don't want dp to find it.
Went to the baby clinic today, to get my 4 month old weighed, and i just started crying when talking to the hv. She took me into another room, and talked to me. I explained that i have ups and downs. Sometimes i'm happy, but most the time, i'm feeling down in the dumps.
Can't get to sleep at night straight away as i have too much going on in my head, i'm irritable, and most things that dp does annoys me. And i have absolutely no patience with ds. I often feel like i can't cope with him, and that i'm a bad mother. And sometimes i just wish some nice person would come and take him off me for a day or so. But when they do (i.e my mum), i miss him loads and can't wait to see him.
Hv thinks that if i can get someone to take ds off me for an afternoon a week, it will do me the world of good, and that i am just missing some time to myself. However, she did tell me not to rule out PND. But to see how things go.
I'm scared now though. I can't tell my mum or dp what happened today. I will just feel like a fool who can't cope with a baby. God help me if i have another one.
Just after some words of encouragement
