I scored about 10 I think, and the nurse recommended I see a counsellor. I went to my GP and he said he thought I was just a normal new mum coping with sleep deprivation and new responsibilities. I don't think you should worry too much about the score, but it might be benefitial to talk to someone who deals with birth trauma. Are you near Melbourne? we have a fabulous birth counsellor here called Rhea Dempsey.
Hey Anna, I'm not near Melbourne unfortunately. I have been referred to a counsellor. Just waiting on an appt - not sure how long the waiting list is. I've told the FCHN that I don't want ADs just yet.
Kaz, Im at the same point as you. So much of your OP I could have written myself.
I scored 12 and OB referred me a psychologist who eventually prescribed Zoloft. I am not taking them tho. Doing some TCM to help my body get back on track.
