Post natal depression?!
Question:
Post natal depression?
i have severe PND and was wondering if there are anyone else suffering from it too?my twins are 15 months old now and the general attitude of people i know is that i shouldnt have it anymore and i should be fine! i dont have any family or friends and i think this is what makes me worse.
Answers:
firstly P.ND is very common and more so without proper help and support.Looking after twins or any babies,children wahatever age is the biggest job you will ever do.What about local toddler groups?
Get out and walk once a day at least,i had this and being inside the house too much made it worse.What about vitamin b6 which helps reduce depresssion..as the lack of this and other vits and cause depression..so look into your diet.
What was the birth like.a traumantic birth can triigaar this too.Also when we have our own children it may make us think of our own childhood..and not all of us were lucky enough to come from brilliant famillies.
The other thing here is your partner,does he help out?
perhaps a day to yourself would be a good thing..a father should offer some support..weather it be bathing babaies,or taking them out for walk.This is not your falt by the way.I would also see a doctor..your hormones might be unbalanced too..it takes a while for your body to get over childbirth.Anyway if you wish to talk further then please e-mail me.
