Hi just looking for some support and advise please. I had a very difficult pregnancy suffering from a rare conditin called vasa praviea which meant i had to stay in hospital for the final 6 weeks of my pregnancy before having an early planned C section at 36 weeks to try and ensure the healthy arrival of my baby. Luckily it went well and my son was fine when he was born but then i tried to breast feed with little success and my son cried and never slept well for nearly 9 months. By this time i was very low as i had no family to support me and was exhausted. I went to the docs who told me i had post nantal anxiety as i dis and still wind myself up and worry when my son will cry and kick off next. I am back at work now so this has helped but i still feel i am useless and am not a god mother. Mostly becasue he has a bad temper and then i get really wound up. I know this wont help and try and calm myself but i often feel like i have butterflies in my stomach. I dread picking him up fromm the childminder as i know he might start creating again..he is 16 months now. My husband wants another child but i think with how i feel things could get worse and i dont know if i could manage another baby. I have found the expereince a chore and am always so anxious. Because he now tantrums in public i feel even more of a faliure and panic i dont know what to do...
