24.01.2022 Ok, ready for part 2? (see my other post if you missed it - but to quickly recap, I was seriously struggling). So I confided in a friend and told them what I was going through. They mentioned they knew of someone who had been admitted into a mother/baby mental health unit and that seemed to help them significantly with their own mental state, and also getting the baby seen by a paediatrician and put onto appropriate treatment. This was it! This was my answer, and literally w...ithin 24 hours I had arranged to check my baby and myself into the local Mental Health Mother-Baby unit. Within minutes of being there the nurses said 'oh yes your baby has silent reflux' (as he was crying of course). They immediately arranged a paediatrician review and within 2 days my son was on medication for reflux. I knew something wasn't right. We ended up staying admitted for a month total. The nurses look after your baby at night so you can sleep (which is so important for mental health) and you complete cognitive behavioural therapy during the day as well as get to connect with other mums and bubs going through the same thing. I have made some lovely friends from my time there. Fast forward a year and PNA is something that I still experience on and off. I don't think it's something that ever completely goes away. You just learn to manage it and recognise when things are going a bit off the rails so you can ask for help. That's the key - asking for help x

18.01.2022 This little guy is my reason for everything, including the dark circles under my eyes and growing addiction to caffeine... Seriously though - he's just the best But the beginning of our life together wasn't exactly what I had planned. It started in pregnancy. Severe rib pain and a pre-eclampsia diagnosis meant that I had to stop working at around 30 weeks. At 35 weeks I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and was admitted into hospital and put onto blood pressure medication ...for a week. Although I felt extremely awful (as blood pressure medication does that to you), my symptoms were not bad enough to justify an immediate C-section. The doctors wanted me to wait until 37 weeks as this would give my baby more time to develop in utero and have a better outcome once born. Life was not enjoyable at this point. Admitted to hospital, on blood pressure medication, poor sleep, my body was all swollen like a blueberry, severe rib pain making it unbearable to be upright for more than 30min. Not a great place to be in. Thankfully, my baby had other ideas and also didn't want to wait any longer and I went into spontaneous labour at 36.5 weeks and he was born by C-section after 2 hours. When I gave birth to my beautiful son Chase, my mental health continued to decline as he was a very unsettled baby. He would scream and scream for 4+ hours at a time and nothing seemed to make him settle. I went to the GP multiple times to only be told that 'It's just colic' and 'all babies scream' and 'he will grow out of it'. So with all of this going on, and having a very upset little baby that I couldn't seem to help and basically no sleep, my anxiety kept increasing. Throughout all of this he wasn't latching, and whenever he did it was serious agony. So I was trying nipple shields, going to see lactation consultants, pumping for hours on end. So it just seemed that everything was a challenge. My life was a nightmare. How could it all be so hard? There's more - which I will tell you in a couple of days. Not trying to hook in you in, but this caption is long enough as it is Chat soon, Kat x

09.01.2022 Tell someone who caresPANDA week 2020 Firstly, if you don't know what PANDA is then let me tell you. PANDA has been supporting individuals and families to recover from perinatal anxiety and depression for 35 years. They are an amazing organisation with a plethora of information and support available for mums, and also dads. They also have a free support helpline which is invaluable.... November 8-14 is PANDA week, and the theme this year is "Tell someone who cares". What does ‘Tell someone who cares’ mean? This is from the PANDA website... "This year, more than ever it’s vital that expecting and new parents who are struggling know they’re not alone and can reach out for help. And just as importantly, they can know that when they do reach out, they will be supported by those they confide in, whether family members, health professionals, PANDA or other perinatal mental health specialists." PANDA is close to my heart after my many struggles I had during pregnancy and post natal. I'll tell you more about that soon, but for now I wanted to draw attention to this amazing organisation and what they do.
