I had ...Just found your blog...congrats on Miss M!<br /><br />I had some pretty significant post-partum anxiety due to the hormones and some scary vision problems I was having after LMH was born. My husband battles chronic depression and anxiety all the time, so he saw the signs and got me into the doctor for meds right away. I got on Lexapro and went to see a therapist a few times. It really helped and the anxiety seemd to subside after a few weeks.<br /><br />(((HUGS))) It's tough to be dealing with that on top of everything else!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203780431443748216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158320158516484372.post-14400773298304968602010-11-06T19:19:16.454-05:002010-11-06T19:19:16.454-05:00I had huge amounts of postpartnum anxiety.

When I had these anxieties, I just knew that I needed to get help. I made sure I was never alone, and I got therapy and antidepressant.

Having gone through IVF, a high risk pregnancy, and an early birth with some NICU time, you may be more likely to be hit a little harder. If it feels like it is not easing, or interfering with your ability to parent, I would mention it to the doctor.MrsSpockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792687516201324640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158320158516484372.post-34232340471538080012010-11-06T09:14:44.275-05:002010-11-06T09:14:44.275-05:00Thanks for your congrats.

...Thanks for your congrats. Congrats to you too! .<br /><br />I totally get how you feel and am in a very similar place, except when I think of being on my own with both children, I mostly cry. I can't see how i'll manage at all. <br /><br />Both of them have been sick this week and we've been in and out of our doctor and A&E. I feel trapped in a tunnel of no sleep and never ending stress. <br /><br />I haven't blogged about it because i've no time and i feel it would not be the place to moan about having two children when many are still waiting for one. My blog is still purely an IF one but if it were a Mummy blog, I might vent there - if I could find a few minutes!<br /><br />I need to sleep now as my boy's napping and my hubby has the baby but i'll try to check in when I can and see how you're doing. <br /><br />xxPortia Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08344574775614817555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158320158516484372.post-13922577385261051992010-11-05T18:07:44.551-05:002010-11-05T18:07:44.551-05:00One of my best friends had anxiety after her baby ...One of my best friends had anxiety after her baby was born. There is such a thing as post partum anxiety and it is just as real as post partum depression. So trust yourself, if it feels like hormones that will fade on their own, then fine, but if it feels like something bigger, then get professional help for it. It would be like the difference between baby blues and actual post partum depression. <br /><br />And this is probably obvious, but don't blame yourself for it. It is a chemical, hormonal thing and not something that you caused or should feel guilty about. And email me if you want more details about what my friend went through.HereWeGoAJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457680345376171720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158320158516484372.post-74321339129196557442010-11-05T15:00:27.597-05:002010-11-05T15:00:27.597-05:00I didn't have that particular brand of heebie ...I didn't have that particular brand of heebie geebies. I just cried A LOT. I hope the hormones pass (I drank a ton of water to try and help flush my system - no idea if that is a valid suggestion or just made my brain feel better like I was DOING something? Probably crazy now that I re-read that.)BigP's Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124157582246972372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158320158516484372.post-59359400522412330942010-11-05T14:29:12.469-05:002010-11-05T14:29:12.469-05:00I'm glad you are all home and doing well (at l...I'm glad you are all home and doing well (at least physically). The post-partum crash of hormones is not pretty. Any little thing gets magnified and so much more unbearable. It is good that you have family support, just keep an eye on it. If you don't feel much better in a couple of weeks talk to your doctor.Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267758324015896940noreply@blogger.com
