I have finally had my gorgeous baby boy

[lisarose]

Hi everyone, Just thought I would let you all know that I had my gorgeous baby boy on 28th April, 6 days late!! We have called him Jakob Jon and he weighed 7lb 15oz. As some of you will know I suffered from horredous post-natal depression, anxiety and panic attacks after my last child was born in 2000 and it took me 4 years to get over it and I said I would never have any more children so was shocked and scared when I found out I was pregnant again in August last year after the coil failed to do its job!! Anyway I have had 9 months of worry and anxiety wondering if everything would be O.k and if I would suffer the same this time around but up to know I am feeling great in fact I feel better than I have done for the last 5 years. I still get a few anxiety symptoms but at least I know what they are now and know that they can't hurt me and I am determined not to let them get the better of me and spoil the happiness of having my new baby and I am determined to enjoy every second with this one. I am still very aware that the post-natal depression could return at anytime as it is still early days yet and he is only 2 weeks old (it started when my son was 4 months Old last time) but at least I will know the signs this time and will be able to get immediate treatment, I certainly am not going to live my life thinking what if. Anyway at least I know I have the support of everyone on this site now and only wish I had it when I first became ill as I don't think I would have suffered in silence for so long, it truly is an amazing site and has helped me so much in the past and I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has given me support and advice and I hope I will still find the time to offer help and support in return.
I just want to say to everyone who is suffering with anxiety, panic etc that there can be a happy ending and there is definately light at the end of the tunnel just never give up hope and keep smiling.
Love Lisaxx

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I too suffered terrible PND but with my second child, so was not at all expecting it! ( she is nearly 5 now) At least you will be able to recognise the symptoms IF you get it again, and will be able to get the help you need. So many women suffer in silence with this and don't realise that help that is out there. My family is complete now and my hubby has had a vasectomy, although i know even that is not completely foolproof!!

Enjoy your baby, as you know they grow up so quickly!
