Good on ya for booking in with the Doc. And if they advise you to go back on the meds then go back on the meds, girl!!! Lots of people stop taking them for different reasons, so you sure won't be the first person they've seen who stopped them only to find it didn't work out so well. Hey, one way to find out, right? It's a tricky thing to predict, so don't beat yourself up about it - I guess you had to stop them to know how it'd go, and some time further down the track, you'll probably stop them and find it works great for you. Hang in there, and no, you're not a bad mum!!]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:03:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20950&PID=503633&title=am-i-a-bad-mum#503633 <![CDATA[am i a bad mum ??? : Good luck for today and I&#039;m...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20950&PID=503145&title=am-i-a-bad-mum#503145 Author: kezplanet

Good luck for today and I'm sure your Dr wont tell you off for not taking your pills, she may say that for the moment you need to keep taking them tho.  I am also going to the dr today to get a plan in place for when I have this wee one, there is a 6 mth waiting time for maternal mental health or something here.  I don't want to have to go back on meds at the moment as they recommend coming off before having baby then going back on after which I will avoid if I can but I am prepared to go back on pills after if need be.

I understand being fine away from the stress and sometimes even the thought of going back into it all seems too much.

Let us know how you go ...

I don't think you are a bad mum but I do think you are a SAD mum and it sounds like you need someone to talk to that you trust and you won't feel judged by.  Are there days that your mum isn't at the centre?  I'm sorry you are feeling this way.]]> Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:26:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20950&PID=493593&title=am-i-a-bad-mum#493593 <![CDATA[am i a bad mum ??? : i have been in this situation...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20950&PID=492120&title=am-i-a-bad-mum#492120 Author: BaAsKa

i have been in this situation before - i had depression after having Bailey and i was so afraid to tell anyone! and i still feel stupid telling anyone! but when i tell people who were around when i first had Bay they generally say that they already knew! because i would never leave the house, i would never pull my curtains, nor clean my house etc!.
I let it go to far past the stage of 'not getting on' with my child and i now have alot of struggles with Bailey 4years later!!! - i still dont feel like he is my child! so good on you! for doing something about it! and i definately dont think you are a bad mum for thinking that!

Aww huge hugs huns. You are defintely not alone and having those feelings hun. Sounds like a trip back to the Gp for a chat is a good idea. Sorry to hear about Mila eczema being so bad. I really hope it becomes easy to control as she gets older.

Take care and again huge cyber hugs coming your way!

Good on you for speaking up. Being upset and struggling does not make you a bad mum. It sounds like a tough time for you. Is there someone IRL you can share this with who can support you?

Maybe consider going back and chatting to your doctor too.
