MY PTSD STORY - PTSD AFTER NICU

Описание: So, this is a video that I have really taken my time with. PTSD after NICU is not an uncommon thing - in fact, it is widely reported that parents who’ve spent time with their babies in neonatal care are a greater risk of developing anxiety or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some studies even suggest that it affect as many as 70% mothers following NICU. And, if you've experienced NICU for yourself, it's probably understandable as to why.

I have made this video because I want to let other parents know that it's normal to feel this way. That they aren't alone. I'm doing well - I have a great support network around me. Including all of you. And I am going to do my best to defeat my demons.

I touch on my story here, and despite it being a long video, I didn't manage to say everything, so if you do want to find out more, these videos might be helpful.

WHO AM I?

I'm Charlotte.

I'm 28, love carbs, rubbish 90's music, Prosecco and baths without finding a bath toy stuck under my bum.

I have a little boy called Bill (born June 2012) and a little girl called Daisy (born April 2016).

I am, very recently, a full-time vlogger and blogger (the stuff dreams are made of), but I am also a trained journalist, former magazine editor, and content lead.

I'm also part of Channel Mum - which is really worth checking out if you're a mama like me and want to find videos to make you laugh, cry, nod, or get advice.    / channelmum  

I was a single mum, just me and Bill. But then I had a bit of a fairytale moment when I met Mark (he's a bit lovely) and things are better than I could have hoped for now. Daisy was born with Stickler Syndrome, and a cleft palate like me. Her start has been rocky but she'll be fine. She's got a family who adore her after all.

I know that all mums are different in their own way, but I hope you enjoy seeing snippets of my life, all the same.
