Low in confidence postpartum

[amandalandmad]

Just wondering if any new mums out there are feeling quite low postpartum. I generally am just lacking in confidence, struggling to enjoy seeing people and have anything interesting to talk about and just generally feel quite worthless. I’m totally obsessed with my baby and my other children but just feeling like I don’t have much to offer anyone tbh

It does sound as though you might be suffering with some PND? Have you managed to speak to your DH/DP and your MW?

It might be worth speaking to the Pandas Foundation to see if they can offer any support too.

If you do go to the GP to discuss how you feel, I’d also ask them for tests for iron levels, thyroid levels and vitamins B and D
