Hi, I too suffered panic attacks and anxiety after each my children were born. Please speak to your GP or health visitor as the sooner you get help the sooner you will recover from them.

Losing feelings for your kids is a common theme when you are depressed. I was quite alarmed at my lack of interest in my own kids (as well as no interest in anything else) when I felt bad. I was helped by Sertraline, but it took around four weeks before I started to feel any benefit. If you are still really concerned and don't feel you are getting anywhere with the health visitor I would contact your GP instead. I just battled on trying to do my best for the kids even though the feelings weren't there and eventually they came back when the treatment started to take effect.
