I had no idea. I had PND ...I had PND with my first. I had no idea. I had PND for nearly 14 months and still had no idea. People told me once I knew and was better that they thought there was something wrong, when I didn't want to get out of bed, when I suddently weighed a riducilous 44kgs, when I didn't want to see anyone. Nobody said anything when I was at my worst. Why? I don't know. If I had of read something like this during my time of need, a light may have gone off in my head. I may have been able to put an end to it. Now that I am having my second, I am glad that my partner and me have the relationship that we have (he is not my son's father so didnt see any of this happen) as I can talk to him about anything, we often spend hours talking about random things of a night. He know's me better then anyone else, so I trust that he would be able to notice if I was different after the birth of this bub. My son's father, however, didn't notice. He was too busy playing the xbox or drinking at the pub and enjoying his life. I didnt feel comfortable talking to him, and because I didnt feel comfortable talking to anyone else, I was alone. I know no what to look for.Kimberleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757921462312678620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296239918663175103.post-25679914651204577032011-04-14T03:06:03.127+10:002011-04-14T03:06:03.127+10:00Wonderfully written post.

I am so proud of all women, including myself, who speak about their experiences because speaking openly is what it take to remove the stigma. <br />Bravo for asking for help. It is a brave step.<br />JennFox in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163309708157436213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296239918663175103.post-76877633626423379002011-04-11T12:26:32.761+10:002011-04-11T12:26:32.761+10:00I wish there was an ad. on television.

I didn't.<br /><br />xxJust Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955302091321085155noreply@blogger.com
