Evey didn't throw up after that epic feed.. So either or both trapped wind/OA letdown could be cause... Fed her in bed the last few feeds andshe puked a little bit...but i put a waterproof sheet on bed, so didn't matter so much....

She's feeding now again... just an hour after shefed last....

We're givingformula at night now and BFingduring the day...seems to work for us so far...

She slept til 5:30 again...but she did take formula and then wanted to BF for a bit...it sent her off to sleep anyway...she puked a little bit, but not too much....

Wish my keyboardworked...i'm nak, but friggin thing isnt helping!!!

hey everybody :wave:

how are you all? I can't believe how quiet this thread is! I have not been feeling very well since thursday, am scared that I might be getting post natal depression. I feel so anxious all the time since thursday, hope this is just because i am so very tired, but I am scared I am getting that PND. Think I had it with DD1 too and it passed after 3 months I didn't do anything about but I have definitely been doing too much and am now paying for it, up all night and all day not eating much. So got lots of help organised for this week, GP appointment and HV is coming tomorrow.

I am sat here with the baby phone dreading baby will wake up again and I hate feeling this way. I love my baby so much and want to enjoy her, but I am finding it very hard. Last week I felt horrible cause I feel like that, but I can admit it now and hopefully get better soon.

Sorry for putting it all on this thread, but I don't want to feel ashamed about feeling this way!! Hope everybody is doing well!!

 

[nightkd]

Linn!! Try to relax and get some more sleep!! I have days where I feel anxious and have panic attacks (minor ones..) when Evey is sleeping, because I'm nervous she's going to wake up...No idea why really, sometimes I just feel like I can't cope with her crying, so I rather she just keep sleeping...

Woke up this morning in a horrible mood, I think just from being overtired (tiredness has worsened depression in the past for me..) and I just did NOT want to feed Evelyn... Went back to feeling like I really hate breastfeeding this morning and thought it would be so much easier to switch her to formula... DH got up at like 8am and took her out into the living room and left me to sleep for a few hours...

Feel a bit better now, but I just feel utterly drained and like I don't want to deal with Evey today..

KD panic attacks are a symptom too for PND, not had those yet but I feel so anxious and on edge all the time, I can't relax.. they are both in bed now sleeping but I don't know what to do with myself. My baby doesn't cry much but she doesn't sleep so she is always tired and I spend all day trying to rock or cuddle her to sleep and I want to enjoy her like when she slept better and wasn't always shattered. Both girls got a cold so I hope once that is gone it will be better.

If you feel bad about BF switch to formula but think about it cause I felt bad about it with DD1 and quit when she was 2 weeks and I did regret it once I felt a bit better. This time I am glad I am feeding her, only thing that seems to work lol

Are you going to speak to a doctor about how you feel? If not it will pass on it's own usually within 3-6 months. I need to get myself sorted though cause of DD1, I cried the other day and she said "please don't be sad mummy, I love you" that really broke my heart. I love her so much and I will do anything to make myself better for her. If I get worse I will not be able to look after them!

Sorry I am going on, actually helps to talk about it. I felt guilty but have realised it's not my fault, I do not want to feel like this!!

I know how you feel, it will get better I am sure, you will forget about it all and want another. Days with Evey will be fun and it will be a miracle to you to watch her grow up learn to crawl, walk and talk!! It keeps me going that I have done it all before and was fine in the end.

Hey sorry I've been MIA too - I am finding the crying so so hard and trying to work at the same time is driving me insane.... got MIL coming on Wed from USA for 10 days and really stressing about having to sort her room out too. I didnt think I had spare time before Nathan now I know how much I wasted.

Linn and KD hope you are both feeling better today and that its not long before we're all in a happier place with our babies. Congrats Bathbabe Mxxx

I am feeling better today but my baby didn't gain muh weight last week, so many things to worry about HV said it's ok as it's been only one week, but I don't think so. Going to see my GP this week re treatment for PND.

 

[lili24]

Hey Linn.. Sorry to hear you feel like this. It's good you are getting treatment though, and I bet once E starts to sleep and settle more you will feel much better! It must be hard looking after both of your girls, but it sounds like you're doing the best job you can! What was her weight this week? I think the HV is right and you don't need to worry as it's only been a week. I was told not to get Layla weighed any more than every 2 weeks because if you do it every week it can look like they are not gaining well at times. I'm sure she is fine.. certainly looks like she is growing fab!

I hope you have woken in a better mood today too KD.. I think we all have those days!

Hello D :wave:

Congratulations Bathbabe xxx

Lili she is 9lbs6oz so she only gained 2oz, HV said it's fine. I always feed her whenever she wants to.. I offer it to her often but when she is overtired she is not interested, she likes to feed as she just wakes up! Anyway I will get her weighed less often in future. HV said then it will all be fine. I hope so I don't want to stop feeding her and doubt she would drink loads from a bottle.

Yes when E will sleep better I will feel much better. I can get her to sleep in her bouncer swaddled with dummy and vibrations on, sometimes need a fan on too.. but I feel so bad, she should just fall asleep on my arm. I took her out and put her on my chest to sleep more not long ago... now she is in her basket as I needed the toilet. Hope tonight she will go down fast and I won't feel so anxious again. For no bloody reason as well.

How much did Layla weigh when she was 6 weeks?

 

[lili24]

Will she sleep on her belly? Layla's been asleep like that since 1pm on my bed, she loves it like that rather than on her back, she sleeps much longer.

At 6 weeks she was 9lbs exactly. At 8 weeks she was 10lbs. I get her weighed fortnightly.

If she is eating like normal I wouldn't worry, she might just have a growth burst this week xxx

 

[-Linn-]

thx, she only sleeps on her belly lol.. I know I worry too much.

Layla seems to be a similar weight, bet she is longer though, E was 53.5cms today!

 

[lili24]

Well it's only natural to worry, that's our job as a Mum lol.

Yeah they have been similar weights since birth haven't they! Yeh Layla is longer, she was 56cms on Thursday

Have you got any next delivery codes? The AW collection is online, it's time to shop!

 

[-Linn-]

haha dont have a code.. I am waiting a bit as they will have more new stuff out soon and I don't want to end up with too much again! I usually like the second lot better at next. Try google for a code hun. Did you recently get the new directory? They won't charge you for it if you order now, so no delivery charge IYKWIM!

 

[Delilah]

Hi Lili xx

Linn dont worry and do speak to your doctor xx

Nathan lost 8oz at 6 days old then had put 6oz on by day 10 but lost 4oz by day 14 (nipple shield issues they said) - he gets weighed tomorrow again at day 21.

Mxx

 

[lili24]

Oooooo let us know what he weighs Marie!

I will have a look Linn.. they are hard to find though aren't they haha. I haven't got a new directory yet, is it out? I am addicted to buying clothes for her, because she really needs them! (not!) xxxx

 

[-Linn-]

Lili I had a OCD buying clothes for DD1 lol.. there are 8 very large storage boxes full waiting for E and buying more for her lol but mainly for DD1 now, I got better

I had the directory last week, got it a week after the new AW collection was online! You should be getting it any day now!

D will speak to him, have decided to go on medication this time.. not something I want to do but HV did a test with me and says it's PND! Now I got 2 kids I get less sleep and need more energy! And need to get better faster this time.

Thanks Emma, I feel horrible... bloody anxiety. They are in bed and I am feeling bad, I felt quite ok all day long. Maybe I am just being strong for them somehow. Hope I can get some medication that will help!
