Post Natal Illness
« on: October 08, 2006, 05:27:44 PM »
Dear all,

I am a new mum of a nearly four month old daughter within two days of giving birth I experienced halluciantions and over the next few weeks could not remember being pregnant and was convinced she was not my baby.

As you can imagine it has been a frightening time for me and all my family. I have had lots of support from them and also the local mental health team that visit each day now I am out of hospital. I am on two types of medication olanzapine (anti psychoptic) 10mg and venlafaxine (anti depressant) 75 mg twice a day.

I am (I hope) starting to feel better but am still struggling to bond wiht my daughter I would appreciate any supportive emails from any recovered sufferer.

many thanks

Vicky
