Postnatel Depression

DR. KATE · 22-02-2013, 09:51 AM

its crippling me , I dont know what to do anymore , I dont even think my baby is mine ..

I never saw him come out , I had a csection , then I didnt see him for at least 5 mins after birth and then I couldnt take him into recovery with me ..

I am sure they could of swapped him or replaced him , i didnt look pregnant I'm confuzzled and my heads a mess

I havent seen my baby for 5 weeks as I had a break down and am in hospital ..

I dont feel any bond towards him any more ..

i just dont know what to do ..

The bond can return.
Are you in a normal ward? Is there any possibility of going to a mother and baby unit?
I saw one lady when I was in one who had been separated from her baby for 3 months, it was difficult when they were reunited, but they did really well.

Do you have a solicitor?
Or an advocate?

Are you getting treatment for this?
There are drugs and therapy that can really help and it is best you get sooner rathe than later.

Please speak to your team honey x

Hey there. Does his dad let you see him, even for supervised visits? It might be worth talking to the ward staff about trying to arrange something.

DR. KATE · 24-02-2013, 08:28 PM

ive got nothing , they wont let me see him unless its supervised , which has to go through a court so earliest is 19th march , I ****ing hate them , i have got to the stage where I want to cut myself to a million pieces :(

Cacoethes · 24-02-2013, 08:42 PM

cutting really won't help you in court lovely.

i know it's hard and I kind of get how you are feeling. (my daughter is in care and i am going through court)

could you get yourself a solicitor?

DR. KATE · 24-02-2013, 09:03 PM

i was in a mental hospital too lovely, and i saw other mums in there too, who were very unwell and weren't allowed to see their children, but then when they got better, they got to go home with their babies.

have you talked to the staff?
