I had it and I am just now getting over it. My DD is two years old. Ever since I returned to my faith and I started taking St. Johns Wort tincture I have gotten better. Don`t take St. John`s Wort if you`re breastfeeding or taking some other medications. My sister had terrible hormonal problems after the birth of her baby. Her dr brushed it off as just PND so she got a second opinion and it turned out that her adrenal glands were shot and she was beyond low on a hormone. She`s taking different hormones and an adrenal support to help with that and she`s getting better. You might want to get your hormone levels checked to see if you are low on anything as that can cause it too. Best of luck to you and I sincerely hope you feel better, I know that it is not fun.

I have had it bad, to the stage where I felt nothing. Nothing for even the baby or my partner. I had no opinion and really didnt care what I did. If my husband suggested something I just went along with it because I didnt care. I only started to get through it once I opened up to my husband and informed him that I had it, he seemed to take it quite well when I informed him that I didnt feel anything at all. My first step was to find someone I could talk too, turned out to be a mothers group and they dont know it but they saved me from it. I opened up about the baby they helped me with advice and tips that had worked for them and it helped me heaps and from then on I decided that I needed to have those friends to help me and let me off load on to them and vise versa. I hope you feel better soon the best way to get over it is to get happy because that helps with the hormones. Mothers group did that for me. Good luck.

It`s especially hard I think becuase it`s like there`s no logic to it. So no real way to console yourself! :( It`s all chemical I think, and so just a matter of getting through it... maybe medication, distracting ourselves? If you`re going through that right now I hope it gets better really soon!! :( And I may be right there with you very soon (sigh) It`s funny because when we`re waiting for baby we feel like giving birth will just solve ALL of our problems, and then somehow we miraculously find a way to be upset STILL, even with our little angels in our arms! Hormones can be so awful sometimes! The nice thing is it DOES pass... but I think we should tell our drs when we feel it coming. And btw, check out the silly reasons we`ve cried poll, hormones are so mean to us we deserve a chuckle!!

im sure its the same thing. its not a nice thing to go through, lets be honest it sucks a**

(post partum=after pregnancy) It sounds like this might be what you mean, if not then oops!

bananikka (580.2 days ago)
Hmmm ok post natal as in post partum? If that`s it then I have had it before. It is no fun, and confusing too since I feel like I have NO reason to feel that way! :S Hormones can be so weird sometimes. :(

  1. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  2. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  3. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  4. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  5. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
  6. I`ve just opened up my facebook newsfeed this morning and there`s a whole bunch of photos of Saturday night antics. First there was one from my 19 year old cousin with her and her friends (looking thrashed out, dirty, bits hanging out of places they shouldn`t and just overall skanky), and another from a friend of mine who is 15 years older on a rare night out with her school friends (who are all mums) who looked gorgeous, fresh, clean, sexy yet classy (let the clothes rather than the skin do the talking - ie you don`t need your ass and boobs hanging out to show off a nice little figure) Is it just me, or are young girls looking thrashier than women in their 20s, 30s and 40s?
  7. Do you or someone you know raise their now school aged child with attachment parenting (baby wearing, never ever allow the baby to cry it out, cosleeping, baby let snacks and feedings, etc) 8f so, how does the school aged child/ren compare to their peers?
  8. You can only have three of the four when buying a house. Which do you sacrifice?
