Chances of post partum depression a second time
I experienced post partum depression for a little over a month with my first child. I guess I am just curious if I’m doomed to feel that way again once I have my second child...? Does anyone have experience with this?
Just to clarify for those who have never experienced it, I wanted (and still want) nothing more than to be a mom my whole life. For some reason my whole body and brain just failed me once I had my son. I loved him unconditionally, but I had no urge to bond with him and could hardly eat for weeks. I cried multiple times a day and was unable to sleep AT ALL, even with help with the baby. Thankfully, it subsided on its own and I felt more myself 1-2 months after having him.
I just really don’t want to go through any of that again, although I know it’s not a choice.
At least if it does happen, I’ll know that IT IS NORMAL and IT WILL PASS.
Ugh, sorry, rant over.
Please and thank you in advance for any shared experiences or advice.
