I've battled depression for years, after I had my daughter I went through horrible post partum depression that caused me to not bond with her for a while. But when she was 4 months old I got pregnant again (planned) and it scares me to death that the same thing will happen when this is born. I do plan on taking my antidepressants the last month of my pregnancy and after I have her so I have something in my system to kinda take the edge off since I just completely stopped taking them while pregnant with my first and obviously that wasn't a goof idea. The advice I can give you is if you have serious depression maybe do that, I don't like taking pills while pregnant but I also want to bond with my baby after she is born and not feel how I did with my first. I also think more of me going through it again and knowing what will happen will help me out too. I've been a lot more happier this pregnancy because I was so upset my first and I hate it, I just tried to completely change my mindset with it. You could possibly get a counselor, or just have someone to talk to in general.
my SO is really supportive and makes me talk if he notices that I look down and he's ready for another one also. I just feel bad because I have been depressed since I found out I was pregnant because my family was not supportive and to this day they are not but I don't want to bring another baby into this world until I know that they would be supportive but I don't think that would ever happen. and I've never been on antidepressants. @their.bomb.ass.mom
