I’m 7 months postpartum and I think I have postpartum depression. I’m really struggling. I’m going to call my midwife today to talk about going on antidepressants. Problem is we want to start TTC our second soon but my husband (while having done absolutely no research on the matter) isn’t comfortable with actively TTC while I’m on antidepressants.

I know there are antidepressants that are safe to take while pregnant, but do you think it’s reckless to actively try to become pregnant while you’re taking them?

This has really thrown my husband for a loop. He didn’t realize I was struggling so much but lately it’s been all consuming. Maybe he just needs a minute to get on board, but right now I feel like he’s punishing me for needing help.
