Pnd

'I'd always wanted to be a mum. But after I gave birth, I felt nothing but fear and guilt.'

“When I was pregnant, I knew in the back of my mind it would get me.”

"In the first few weeks with my newborn, I had the worst anxiety I've ever experienced."

Life with PND: 'I would walk down the street 5 times a day, hoping someone would talk to me.'

'After having my second baby, I developed an obsession that was ruining our lives.'

Samantha Johnson

'After my baby's birth, I felt I'd made a huge mistake. It's my most painful memory.'

"The hardest part of being pregnant is giving people the reaction they want."

'I sat in my psych's office with a straight face. At the time, I didn't know I was lying.'

"I broke down and cried, hiding in the bathroom from the kids."

Teagan Gambin-Johnson

'I couldn't hold my baby. I didn't want to. I counted the hours until she fell asleep.'

Dads get postnatal depression too.

"My 40-hour back-to-back labour left me mentally and physically broken."

"I cried every day from my last day of work until my baby was born."
