Scenario A- Sally Weston

Sally is a 35-year-old woman who has ‘never had a sick day in her life’. She and her partner, Pete, have recently had Becky, their first baby, after five years trying to conceive. The couple achieved this pregnancy following several attempts using Assisted Reproductive Technology. Sally gave up work as a primary school teacher at 36 weeks and plans to spend the next 5 years at home looking after Becky. Sally attended all antenatal care; her Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) during pregnancy was scored at two (2) and her Antenatal Risk Questionnaire (ANRQ) score was eleven (11), (the highest scoring item indicated that she “likes to have a tidy house”).

Pete and Sally have attended the post natal clinic at the local hospital to see the midwife this morning. It is now five weeks since Becky’s birth. They have left Becky with her grandmother while they have come to the clinic. Pete states he has been worried and concerned about Sally, she seems to be crying all the time for no reason and the house is more untidy than he has ever seen it. Pete and Sally are both complaining that Becky won’t sleep. Sally states “I feel really distant from her, I am tired all of the time”. On further assessment the following details were revealed: Sally has a family history of depression, she describes her mother as always “being down”, “it was hard as a kid with mum being like that” and has an aunt that is “always anxious”. Pete has no history of mental illness in his family “that I know of”. Sally states she is on no medication as “I don’t want to hurt Becky”. Today Sally has scored a ten (10) on the EPDS. Sally states “isn’t this meant to be a happy time, I cannot seem to do anything right, I was not meant to be a mother after all”. The midwife outlines that what is happening for Sally right now could be symptoms of postnatal depression, but further assessment is required. The midwife explains to Sally she would like her to see the on-call medical officer in the next hour. Sally is reluctant but agrees to the assessment.
