I don’t know why some women feel the need to play Top Trumps, be it pregnancy, labour, pnd etc. I had PND, it was crippling, I couldn’t sleep because I was convinced my baby was going to die in the night, my mother had to come and look after my children during the day because I was exhausted and I was also convinced that I was going to die, leave two small children with a husband who wouldn’t be able to care for them as well as I could. It’s not a one size fits all, other mothers have very different experiences but I’d never feel the need to exaggerate it.
