Raffy - I was the same as you when I first became a Mum. (2006) I told the CHN what I thought they wanted to hear and even filled out the pnd survey with answers I thought they would want to see. Bailey was 6 month old by the time I cried out for help. It was the cause of my mastitis I had for 6 weeks which forced me to wean. My GP to me to wean actually. Alot of people told me not to but I had been itching for someone to 'give me permission'. Once I weaned him, received one on one councelling, things began to improve! NOT saying you have it, but just to give you an idea that you are not alone. I even walke out on Bailey and DH one day. I was watching him play and figured he was fed and had a clean nappy so I took the dog for a 2 hour walk. I even wanted something bad to happen to me whilst we were walking like a dog attack or beieng hit by a car. Just something so that people would come to help me without me asking for help! It takes a very strong person to ask for help - ironic hey?! Can you call DH throughout the day when you are freaking out? I AM THINKING OF YOU! xxxxx
AFM: Alannah had a mild fever after her needles but slept it off. Such a good girl. I had to wake her for her feeds on Saturday.
I came across this service called HEALTH DIRECT. I spoke to a qualified and experienced Pediatrician who went through a list of things as I was not sure if it was a virus from Noah or from the needles. She wasn't burining up but much warmer than normal. Even her feet were quite warm. The nurse asked me to take her temp too.
Health Direct - 1800 022222 and their other help line is called Pregnancy, Birth and Baby 1800 882436 Both are available 24/7. I hope the Mods don't mind me putting them on here but I found it such a peace of mind. *waits for a butt whipping off the Mods*
Okay, love to ya'll,
xxxxx
