I found the experience of becoming a mum first time absolutely beautiful - my best role ever. What I didn't realise is that it would take all my energy and commitment, and that other things like part-time work would need to be cast aside. I didn't imagine that I would become a PND sufferer and so that was a harsh shock; although I adored being a mum, other things in my life I feel didn't adapt to this change in my life and the pressure of it all brought about a PND problem.
