Depression

edited January 2011 in Pregnant
I am a Psychiatric Nurse and work in the Mother Baby Unit at the local hospital with mums who have Post Natal Depression or Post Natal Psychosis. It's very common, particularly Post Natal Depression. I just want to say that once bub arrives, if u feel down or u aren't bonding with baby or you have thoughts to harm yourself or baby, speak to someone; doctor, maternal health nurse. Let someone know bc there is help out there and don't be ashamed, you are not alone!
