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!

it could just be that you have a toddler and a bub ! i was soooo tired some days and could hardly move my arse off the couuch , and i still get like that some days ~!! hope you are feeling a bit better

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

thanks laura and lea!
i saw my MCHN last week and she was worried about my fatigue and the possibilty thats its the start of PND because its the the 3 month mark inwhich is can start, soooo off to the dr's next monday for a chat and a blood test!

Hugs AJP, I wasn't diagnosed with PND until around 6 months post birth. But looking back, the signs started around the 3 months. And they were things like fatigue, exhaustion, irritabiity etc. I figured most mums feel this way, especially with a baby and a toddler, and it just went down hill rapidly from there. Definately talk to your gp about how you feel and let us know.

you should get them to do an earlier test on your iron levels, mine went down to 8 (the lowest, healthy level is 50), and got anaemia induced depression and anxiety, and the effects were terrible. at least if you get your level checked, you know where you're at, and it's easier to get on top of. lots of luck xo
