Hi,
i'm usually on the pregnancy forum, but I had my baby 10 days ago and i'm a bit concerned about some feelings i've been having.
I have all these physical sensations of panic- my heart thumps, I get butterflies in my stomach, and I feel nausea. It's like terrible stage fright, but there is no reason for it- i'm not actually feeling anxious-it's my body that's creating the sensations.
It feels like i'm on the edge of complete breakdown and it's really hard not to give in to it.
It feels like i'm going to start crying really hard, and if I do, I won't be able to stop.
I had some post natal depression with my first baby, but not untill months after she was born, and it was a whole different situation then- I really was anxiuos and afraid to be alone and stuff, but this time i'm enjoying the baby, she feeds and sleeps well, and is very easy to deal with. I don't know why i'm having tyhese ohysical sensations without feeling any emotional cause.
What should I do- is this the beginning of post natal depression again ?
