I’m thinking someone will harm my baby. I don’t really want to go into detail but I’m super paranoid about it
I’m waiting on a call from the perinatal psychiatrist cause apparently she wants to increase my qutiapine. Problem is since I’ve given birth it’s already been increased to 200mg and now she wants to Up it again. I’m already tired from feeding every two hours without being sedated from medication as well.
It’s hard taking care of a baby, especially with MI. I went through post partum psychosis and it was hell.
Take the meds. I went through it unmedicated and do not want to see anyone else go through that hell.
Take care of you. Nap when baby does. Or get a shower. If he cries when showering, it is fine to let him cry a few minutes while you finish.
Take hot bubble baths. Or salt soaks. Do face masks. Anything that is spa like and relaxing. You can care for baby with a mask on.
Ask your partner to help.
If you are breastfeeding, get a pump. It’ll help on times when you need a break and your partner can feed baby.
Lots of love to you. Parenthood is tough.
Take it easy and listen to your docs @Qwerty
Wishing you well.
sorry you are suffering…I agree with zombiemombie…take care of yourself and take the meds if they want to up it…or find a med that doesn’t make you drowsy too down the road…
Sorry to hear you are having a rough time @Qwerty. Best of luck to you.
Thankyou for the replies. I will def take your advice.
Try and stay calm. I’m sure no one wants to hurt your baby.
Take care.
