Thanks to @stylistmagazine for sharing my PND experience. Four women were interviewed, mine is the last of the four. It's great that magazines such as Stylist are talking more about these "taboos", raising awareness and helping us break the silence. -

@Thisvetruns I don't know how this has happened but I have missed out on lots of replies to previous tweets. It's so late, 6 months late. But thank you. x

[Maternal Minds @maternalminds_]
