Becoming a parent is mad. No matter how prepared you think you are, it's not enough. I think that is part of the problem that triggers PND. Them first few weeks and months were so hard and you think it is all going to be peaches and cream, but the minute that baby is placed in your arms, your whole entire world is turned upside down, for good and bad. Some babies are a 'dream' and some, like my little monsters cry from the minute they were evicted. If you place high expectations on yourself, its sad, but sometimes your world implodes on itself. It was relentless for me, colic, reflux, lactose intolerance, CMPI, you name it, they both had it. I was a single mum also. I really thought it would be so easy, I worked in schools and nurseries so thought I had the upper hand. I didn't. After losing so many babies, I just wanted my rainbow, and when I finally got them, PND hit and it was just the worst feeling ever, being so desperate for my baby and then having horrible thoughts that they would be better off without me. I've rambled on loads again there sorry. I'm finally in a place where I can discuss what I went through and I hate the fact that there is still such a taboo with regards to PND and other mental health issues.
I love the fact that you lot have all listened to me go on and on, and not one of you have judged me, just been amazing, so thank you. if ever anybody needs to talk, I'm here xxx

that was a good call!
I honestly feel like everyone possible should know she drinks while pregnant
I’ve done that plenty of times. I won’t sleep tonight.
That’s all anyone should ever ask of you. If they can’t see that or don’t offer a hand to lift you up then they can jog on with a Curly wurly up their jacksie all day long for me. When you have kids and then go on to be a single parent you see with your own eyes who is a true friend. Most run for the hills but a few stay and give you love & support. I think Tattle is a kind warm place for many of us on a daily basis.
