I suffered so badly when my little boy (now 20 months) was born, that I was hospitalised for 3 weeks. I am still taking medication and the level at which I feel it differs from day to day. My son's dad didn't give a damn, but thankfully he is no longer in our lives and my fiance is so very supportive. He has accepted my son as his own, and has even come home from work midday a few times to settle me down and help with the little one. Keep talking, and know that it does get better.

not all men believe that its made up, i was scared of getting post natal depression this time as i had it when i had my daughter, however my partner said to me no one would think bad if i did get it and its as serious as a broken arm or leg it needs treatment. sounds like ur bloke needs to do some research or do some for him he may see things differently

Men do understand Post-natal depression, it is important that women realose it can be a two way thing too. As a father to a 6month old daughter, getting up and leaving for work every morning is not the most enjoyable experience, even in my job which I love! Leaving my daughter and wife behind when I'd rather be at home with them can bring about a lot of sadness and angst too! It's not a one way street, only through supporting each other can you get through it...

i understand its a two way thing and yer some men dont like going out to work after they and there partner have just had a baby, but you have to and the woman gets stuck in all day. same routine all day. but men say they got pnd but how can that be wen the woman has carried there child for 9 months gone thru all that pain of birth. its not as though a mans hormones are all over the place is it. i understand men feel it to and yer wen u have a baby men feel left out cos there not getting all of there partners attention anymore, but its exactly the same for a woman well i believe a woman feels it more and men just want sympathy. sorry guys its how a lot of women feel.

Post natal depression can be a two way thing, our health visitor made a big show of bringing that up with me and my partner after we had our beautiful amazing girl. Ok it may be us that goes through the birth but that may trigger the post natal depression in men. Women by far get all the best bits. We get to actually have the life growing inside us, we get to feel the first moves, the first kicks, we get to bring the baby into the world and have the first cuddle, our baby can survive alone for the first six months on milk that WE make for them. Ok we may ask that our men support us but we by far get all the best and most amazing bits let us support them too.
