I was just wondering if there’s anyone here that is also struggling with post natal anxiety and, for lack of a better word paranoia?
I think i had terrible ptsd from all the ivf, which is starting to settle but i’ve just started to worry about things i didn’t see coming… protective mama bear has gone a bit wild 😉
Big hugs to everyone going through the ivf , honestly it’s something else hey? 🙈

I have struggled a lot since my son was born. If you haven’t done so already, definitely speak to your GP and health visitor. My health visitor referred me to the perinatal mental health team and I current have sessions with a perinatal psychologist.
thank you. Gosh i feel like i’m going mad 😉 I just feel like a bad mum for having left my little bean alone in my hospital cubicle to go to the loo etc, just felt awful i’m guilt .. i thing as i was so scared and protective during the pregnancy my brain didn’t adapt very well to bump then being free range and protective mama bear went a bit ferral 😉 Is it normal to leave baby alone when in hospital or have i already let my been down? 😌
Hi, I had this but it got worse as little one started weaning etc. And I was on my own with him alot when my husband went back to work. I ended up speaking to a therapist through NHS and I was diagnosed with OCD which they gave me medication for. Both of which really helped. More things are going to happen where you start feeling guilty and second guessing yourself, sounds like your doing a great job already, congrats on your baby x
