i had pnd twice after having my children i was wondering if anybody else had same experience

Yep - big time PLUS PMT as well. I was really bad after my first was born but not so bad after my second came along, but after having my two girls the PMT really kicked in (didn't know what PMT was until then) and for two out of the four weeks every month I was like a raving lunatic and used to fly of the handle at the least little thing.

My coil got stuck. lol - well no laughing matter really as it had to be removed by a gyna and was so incredibly painful that I never went down that route again. Went through an early menopause at 42 so thankfully no need for anything like that any more, but I do still remember the uncontrollable anger that is part and parcel of having PMT and the all consuming hopelessness that PND can inflict on you.

I'm just a moody cow! I think laughter is the best medicine though so I'm not allowing myself to be moody anymore! Smiles from now on even if I'm frowning inside. I'm 15 weeks post partum (or 16 I forget lol) xx

I had post-natal anxiety after mine and felt at the time it was unneeded adrenalin lowing through me! By my 4th and last, I was more able to recognise it and control it but the first time round it was quite extreme and scarey!
