I’m Stacey Noble, wife to Wayne and mother to Maddison, 8 years old and Jake, 5 years old. I thoroughly enjoyed my first pregnancy, despite experiencing mild depression during the first trimester and moderate post natal anxiety, which subsided naturally at around 6 weeks postnatally.
My second pregnancy was far different, suffering severe antenatal depression and anxiety throughout the entire pregnancy followed by severe postnatal depression where i was admitted to a Mother and Baby Unit and treated with medication.
Today I am fully recovered and work as a counsellor with the Post and Antenatal Depression Association (Panda) and am an ambassador with Beyondblue.
