Ok my twins have turned 11 months today, this has been the best year of my life. I love them very dearly but this last week I have been feeling so down and so miserble but i have no idea why.
I am snapping constantly at my partner, i know i am doing it but yet i still can’t lift my mood.
I’m finding the Twins harder now than when they were first born cause they are constantly on the move and need entertaining! they are fanastic sleepers so it is not tiredness.
I go out to visit people as often as i can and take them to playgroup once a week but i’m even starting to become lazy like i can’t be bothered to go out.
My house is a constant tip and i’m sure my partner thinks i just sit around all day having it easy.
I’ve talked to him and he’s been great, he even took over last night so i could have a bath.
But still this morning i have woken up in the same mood.
Could i be suffering from postnatal depression this late on??? Please help, i’m even crying typing this! what’s wrong with me?? I also turned 30 last week which i found quite difficult and it’s been since then, so could it be that?? although i don’t think it is

In the start of my pregnancy, it was rough, because it was not expected, and it was hard for my boyfriend to accept. After a few weeks, I was happy about it, and he grew happy too. We went and bought little things here and there. My boyfriend is supportive & now is excited to find out the sex, and is taking part in my prenatal visits, and growing into ‘being a dad’.

Me, on the other hand…..

Hi everyone, it would be great if i could get some advice off any one who is currently or has gone true the following, basically me and my girlfriend are expecting our wonder full baby in 3 months (this was an unplanned pregnancy), and i love my girlfriend and we have being great together for the last 2 years, but recently over the last 5 weeks she has being very down and not herself and she seems to be acting as if she dosent care about me anymore, i have being helping out as much as possible cleaning the house helping out trying to get her to take it easy because i no its not easy for her or any girl who is pregnant, but she wants me to stop helping she wants to do everything herself i have gone to all doctor appointments and scans with her so i think that i am showing i am with her everystep of the way, she is also stopping me feeling the baby kick and that is really affecting me because thats the only bit of a connection that i can make with the baby, but she never stopped me up to recently, i tried talking to her saying that i feel we are drifting appart but she dosent seem to relize this whan i talk about it with her, i am hoping that it is just horemones and that it will soon pass but i am also worried incase it is prenatal depression because she was diagnosed with depression when she was younger, im in a very hard situation here i would be very greatfull if i could get any advice before things get worse,

Thanks Darren

I’ve been a single mum since the day my daughter was born, up until now I have been fine, but lately I have no energy, i’m always tired and i just feel miserable all the time. I love my daughter to bits but I noticed I felt a better in myself when I had a bit of time too myself. Is this mild PND? Thanks
I have also lost weight recently too (unintentionally)
