Delayed PND or PTSD?

[missbluebird]

My 5 month old was recently in hospital for a routine procedure which went wrong (made him seriously ill ) and he ended being admitted and stayed in for over a week. During this time he endured a number of painful procedures which I held him through. He has been discharged but needs some additional care from what happened.

Since we have got home I have not felt "right". I have not cried at all but feel very low and I can't cope with having DS on my own all day anymore. His crying effects me much more than it ever did and if I can't soothe him instantly I have to pass him to my DH as it overwhelms me.

I feel exhausted which may be the lack of sleep as I stayed with him 24/7 in hospital but even when I get chance to have more sleep I feel no better. I am getting quite angry at DH and feel resentful of anytime he has on his own, for instance yesterday he had a shower when he got in from work and I was resentful that he got these extra few minutes to himself. I seem to incapable of getting anything done in the day anymore. Before I'd easily have play time with DS, get some tea prepared, do a bit of cleaning, pop some washing on and go to a baby class or the library with DS. Now I can only manage some play time with DS. ( DH says just to leave everything and he'll do it when he is home).

I have not found the first few months with my DS easy but I did not feel like this before the hospital stay. We had a lovely routine and enjoyed being with him. The days flew by. Now each day feels torturous. I am torn between wanting time to myself to have a break and not wanting to leave DS with anyone for any length of time.

Can PND be brought on by a traumatic event?
