If you had PPD or PPA with your first child did you have it with your second?

Question

I struggled after my first who is 8 months, finally coming out of it. We want a second (not right away) but maybe next year. I just worry about my mental health. I h have PPA and mild PPD. The anxiety was pretty crippling. Would it be worse with a second baby? I feel like it might be a little better since I have now been through it. Experiences? Thank you!

Answer

I had ppd with my first and absolutely nothing with my second. He was much easier than my first but it was night a day labors.

Answer

I had horrible ppd that turned into full blown anxiety with my second child. I was TERRIFIED at what was to come when I was pregnant with my 3rd. He's now 8 months and no ppd, no ppa..even with all this crap going on and a close family death during my pregnancy. There's hope! ❤

Answer

I had prenatal and PPD with my first. I had a great second pregnancy and after birth felt amazing. But my son developed health issues around 4 months old and was failure to thrive, which triggered severe anxiety. Had he not had those complications though, I would have been totally fine! 😊

Answer

Yes but so far not the third (7 months pp)

Answer

Following! I had terrible PPA with my first. Seeing a therapist in preparation for possible PPA with my second.
