It has got to a stage where I just need to get my feelings out in the open, and I've found it easier to post this.  When my midwife came, I tried to talk to her, but it wouldn't come out, so I ended up showing her my post.  And she was amazing.  She was my midwife when I was pregnant with Aine.

I wish you all the best for your pregnancy.

aww babe just read your post as aint been on her for a few days. my lo is 6months and i am almost 4 months pregnant. i am the same age as you and i must say i think that you are sooo strong for the way you have delt with things. i dont no v many people who would pluck up the courrage to talk to anyone let alone do a post. wish you all the luck in the world hunnie and hope all gets well soon. xXx

Thank you all.  I'm feeling much more positive today and my midwife visited me after I phoned her yesterday.

She is going to refer me to Home Start to see if they can help and advise me. 

Thanks again.

maybe see if theres any mums coffee mornings or mums and tots/mums and bumps groups near you so you can make some friends in similar situations and just get out of the house a bit, definately speak to your hv as well, I hated hearing the whole 'it'll get better' comment too hun, I really really hope you feel better too hun xxxxxxxxxxx

I think I'll give that a go now.

Thanks.

hi ya hun sorry to hear how ur feeling, my only advice is to talk to ur midwife/health visitor or g.p. they will be able to talk to you about anything you feel u want to  talk about.

give one of them a try, i really hope u start to feel better soon

I'm new here, so I apologise for the post but I feel so crap I don't know what to do.

I'm Sophie, I'm 19, and I have two little girls, Aine 11 months on Wednesday and Ciara was born 5 days ago. 

Ciara wasn't planned and it took me until I was 30 weeks to get used to the idea of being pregnant, and even then I didn't know how I was going to cope.

She was born on 18th May, and she is absolutely beautiful, but I'm struggling to cope with the two of them.  My fiance is fantastic and does pretty much everything with Aine, but I'm so unhappy I just don't want to do anything with either of them. 

I'm trying to breastfeed Ciara, but it's not going very well and she's feeding every 3 hours at the moment, and seems to be constantly crying. 

I just want to sit and cry all the time, and it isn't doing any of us any good. 

How do I get around it?  I haven't got any friends around me to talk to as none of them have children, and if I try to talk to my family, they just tell me it'll get easier, but none of them actually listen to me.

Sorry to moan.
