I recntly hd my bby girl thru a csection, I keep hvn nightmares of tht day, tht my tummy is bein cut again, and another bby's inside me and my doc is admiTtin me again... wen I wake up I cnt go bck to sleep.

I hv a follow up appt wth the doctor a week frm nw, mayb I shud discuss how I am feeling wth her, I love my child so much I'm very sure its nt post natal depression, I jus need to get a grip on ths I know the lack of sleep can have a negative impact as well, hoping an praying ths goes away... Thnk u ladies, any1 who says bein a mum is easy doesn't hav a clue, all I can say is my child brngs me joy its been rewarding havin her in my life...

Id say at this point it may be post pardom along with stress of being a new mom. Especially if you are doing this as a single mom. I can totally see how some of the stress manifests itself thru dreams. If you continue to have nightmares talk to ur doc. Post pardom is nothing to be ashamed of. I got it with my 1st. I'm due to have #2 this Tuesday so I started Zoloft a couple days ago.

Hun.. you might even have post dramatic stress disorder. Which can occur after a traumatic event..or even pp depression. Big cuddles..I'd go talk to.someone about how you're feeling xx

I'm tryn to b brave bt wen I ws in hosp the nurses told me that I wud cry for my bby in sleep, yes it was very traumatic the fact I ws lyin ther helpless I can't do anythn my mom was wth me bt my head was filld wth scary thoughts she came very easy bt she ws really tiny bout 2.5kg, nt sure wt ths is in pounds ,I thought wt did I do wrong? Why was she so small, i cried an cried I blamed myslf,cos I wasn't strong enough I cudnt even produce milk for her- bottlefeeding she is extremely healthy so strong, an ful of life for a newborn, she gained so much weight since thn cos she eats so much,and al the nurses love her so much the time we stayd in hosp idconstantly find her on somones arms lol- 4days. I wudnt sleep at nyt I'd sit by her in the nursery stitches an al lol,I dnt knw y I feel ths way cos everythn went so well, I never wana go thru tht again I stl wake up an look over if she's ok I hardly sleep because the dreams are disturbn...

Just reread my post....traumatic not dramatic lol

[trying43]

If it was a dramatic experience to you then that may be why.  I know with my first birth it was a long difficult birth.(I will spare you the details)  my son came out cord around his neck 4 times not breathing...so I had nightmares about it for a few weeks.  Everytime I would wake up I started reminding myself all was well and he was safe.  Finally it sunk in things were ok.  Sorry you are dealing with this.
