BUffy, I also had a very tough first few months! Breastfeeding was a nightmare for me. He also hardly napped in the day, and even so it had to be in my arms. Thanks for your honesty! It will help others with PND!
Wah Bluey, how loving...does he peel your prawns for you too? haha!

<font color="0077aa">jelly/bigflamingo: no lah, many others went thru worse experiences than me... but the chronic insomnia part was crazy; i slept for a total of 7 or was it 8 hours in 3 days! that was how bad it was... then my body started shutting down liao... doc gave me sleeping pill but i had an adverse reaction to it - auto matism where i sleep walked and cannot even recall walking my HB out to the door and braiding my hair.
i still shudder when i think of that... blardy traumatic for me... eeeeeeeeeee...
thanks for the encouraging words, i dun mind sharing because i dun think it is anything that personal - meaning i failed as a mum or something. i know some of those other patients i saw at the clinic took it very personally and refused to admit that they have it because they see it as a "failure".
Typically, Type As are the ones who get it. And it is like 90% of the time and yours truly definitely am one lor. LOL... I dun mind sharing also because I just want ppl to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and if I can get well so can anyone out there if they seek appropriate help and have enough support.
I guest wrote on my bro's blog and I left my personal email addy in the post and there were quite a few ppl who wrote to me for contacts, to talk and to basically offload. It was a v humbling experience for me and I was v v v deeply touched that these ppl were willing to share their insecurities and fears and their experiences with me... Some had it really really bad...
So, I thank God for the experience and more than that, I thank Him for letting these ppl reach out to me so that I can do whatever I can to share and help. Sometimes, they just need a listening ear and encouragement. Some of these ppl became pretty close friends too.

Mousebb,
You must be strong and healthy for the kids. But dun worry .. am sure you can be very strong de .. coz that was the case for my baby when he was down with HFMD. My HB fell sick with HFMD as well ... but I stayed strong and healthy so that I could take care of them. Its all about ...WILL POWER ... Jia You.
Buffy/BigFlamingo,
My baby also slept very little in the first few months. And when he had to sleep, it had to be in our arms. Once put down, he wakes up. But hey ... we have all past the phase with flying colours right? Now seeing our bubs grow up

OK thanks Mint. I will go measure his feet again tonight.
R.E. iphone and ipod touch, if you are considering one, definitely get the iphone. It doubles up as your ipod. Less things to carry!

hi buffy - i had PND to.. pretty bad and had to take med which i did not cos i want to bf E.
Hey i want to ask u something - when u have ur period, do u have v bad PMS? I found myself not controlling myself and my emotions. I get v v angry - to the point i can kill someone. I wonder if the hormone part is still in me. Wonder if i need see my gynae to ascertain it.
thanks mint! V appreciative of ur help!

<font color="0077aa">vanilla: Oh.... I did not know you had it too! Am so glad you are doing good now.
I stopped BFg for that reason lor. They kept telling me it was safe but I did not really think that there is enough research to substantiate that statement. If it is strong enough to alter the chemicals in my brain, then how safe can it be to the little one? I dare not take the risk
Hmmm... no leh... I am fierce everyday so hahahahahahahahaha... period or no period, like the same!
But seriously no lah... I just get a bit tired and moody lor but not v v v bad yet. But of course, my HB will beg to differ</font>

Vanilla, i feel that too sometimes... dun u feel so upset with yourself when hormones settle and then u dunno why ur emotions are so out of control. My gynae gave me these b/c pills which suppose to help but i felt not much diff. Sometimes I wonder if its all in my own mind...or worst i had pnd all along and have not treated it and its spiralled out of control. Yes i did have really scary tots, like killing myself etc. Luckily hubs been supportive so i try to overcome it myself but somedays its just all too hard.

vanilla, actually my family asked me if i wanted to get professional help but i refused. I kept beating myself up abt not bf-g abt having problems coping with chores etc. I was determined do it. Sometimes dunno if i did the right thing. Luckily things are better, i think things really got better when i started taking miki out for class. MaybeI just needed to get out of the house...

mine was big time guilt. I thot God punished me by making E ill cos i did IVF. that i did not tolerant my OHSS from IVF hard enough... I keep telling God then "let E live, i am willing to have OHSS back now..just let him live"... i blame myself so much i thot if God let me die, E will be ok.

when they were packing the toys after arts and craft, E was supposed to put this pig in..but a bigger boy came and took it from him and put in the box.
E is not happy cos to him, it is his chore, his right,so he took it and want to put it back, but that boy took from him again and put it back.
So E screamed and shouted and insisted it is his job. one of the helper carrying the box also shocked. cos he screamed and lurched backwards...i carried him away and lectured him. I told him R is a big boy he is kor kor, if he does the job it is ok, next time u then pack the toys. i wanted E to apologise to R for screaming at him, but R's mum "rescued" E by saying it is ok, he is a baby.

<font color="0077aa">ai yah, vanilla, not really E's fault leh! Since the other kid snatched away from E. At this age, they are still young, v ego centric so of course E is not gonna be happy. E screamed because he is unhappy and to me, rightfully so leh. I would be peeved if someone to were snatch things away from me... Oops... I am a fighter cock mum... *bad example*</font>
