I’m a first time mom and 4 months postpartum.. I’m already thinking about a sibling for my little girl but I am so scared.. I developed pre eclampsia and it went unnoticed for about a month I would say.. I told my doctors over and over about the signs I was having but they just thought I had anxiety.. by the time they caught it I was 33 weeks pregnant but my baby only measured 29 weeks... I had 2 hospitalizations before being diagnosed at 35 weeks With HELLP syndrome and then I had to be induced.... Ended up having a birth with many interventions and epidural when I had planned a natural birth.. At 35 weeks my baby only weighed 3 pounds and stayed in the NICU for close to 2 weeks.. All of this was very intense, stressful and terrifying... after coming home I suffered from severe postpartum depression. Things have calmed down a lot now and I’m starting to really enjoy motherhood and I realize that I really do want a sibling for my daughter one day.. but my doctor doesn’t think it’s a good idea for me to have more babies and I agree.. I don’t think I could go through all of that again. so what should I do? Adoption is expensive but I’m hoping sometime down the road we would be able to afford it.. are there other options apart from adoption? Did anyone else go through something similar to me and decided to have more kids afterward?
