    AJP - i was more tired and depressed 3-6 months than i was 0-3 months!
    i think the excitement and adrenalin was over and the 3 months of sleep deprivation and constant feeding overnight hit me at the 3 month mark!

    *hugs* things will get better!!!

    if you still feel like this than go and see someone , the signs of early pnd are so sublte , tired/ teary / Emo all the time and really lack of lust for anything . if you think its impacting on you then its serious ..

    i have been feeling extra emotional lately and its a key sign im over worked and stressed , i also get SAD every winter (seasonal affective disorder) and its time for me to nip it in the bud befroe i have another breakdown

    It could be hormones adjusting or AF coming back , but get a GP review JIC ...

    are you sleeping ok ? eating ok ? try to stay away from junk as it can play havoc with your body , like increasing anxiety and mood swings etc ..

    popping bubs/kids in the pram and going for a walk as a family when hubby gets home really helps !!

    hugs hun , i hope you feel better soon

    PP thanks love

    lea im very tired still but that from the PPH, i dont get another iron test for about 5 weeks so not even sure that my iron levels are increasing.
    im sure at this stage its definatly not PND i had that last time, im just tired and emotional!

    If you think its not PND then i would have to agree with PP

    i think the excitement and adrenalin was over and the 3 months of sleep deprivation and constant feeding overnight hit me at the 3 month mark!
    i hope you are feeling better soon xx
