No more kids

If your husband wants more kids and you aren't opposed to more kids, just more pregnancy, maybe look into adopting. There are plenty of kids that need homes (when you're ready of course).

I experienced the sameeee thing. At 6 months pp, I was so anxiety ridden and depressed that I went to counseling and started on a. Low dose anti-anxiety med. it was thee best thing I could’ve done for my mental health, for my husband and our daughter. I am due in 1 month with #2 and I plan to go back on my meds. I stopped taking them during pregnancy, even though I was told they’re expected to be safe. I am happy to know it wasn’t a risk to my baby, but I also wish I would’ve stayed on them. My mental health has been crappy. I know not everyone agrees with meds and that’s ok. I tried counseling for a while without it and finally tried it. So so happy I did. Good luck to you 💕

It absolutely happened to me after my first. I almost died giving birth to my son, i was completely alone and had no help/ significant other/support system. It was extremely hard especially since i struggled with being suicidal since i was very young. My PPD lasted a year and every day i had to force myself to not commit suicide. Some weird part in my brain almost had me convinced it would be for the best. The struggle was something ill never forget. Fast forward 7 years.. i am now married and on my 4th (and last) baby. Just like i wanted originally. The key for me was finding the right medication (Zoloft!!! There is no shame in antidepressants!) And a person (who is my husband now) who understands and supports me. He even watches videos on youtube for how to help extremely depressed people understand they are loved, and he uses those tactics he learned to help me in my most trying times. My other labor and deliveries were actually surprisingly easier too! No hemorrhaging no tearing no blood transfusions, and recory has been even quicker every single time. Heck i was up and walking the next hour after my 3rd baby was born. So what im trying to say is, dont give up completely yet. Get on a birth control, some good antidepressants, and find something that makes you really happy and just live your life for a while. You could change your mind. But if you dont, then thats okay too!

I always imagined a large family and so did husband. However I had a very difficult pregnancy, traumatising birth, and I’ve had ppd on and off throughout my daughter’s life (she’s eight months now). It’s possible she’ll be my only child. If I do have more, I definitely need more time before the next one. But if I don’t have more biological children, I am very interested in fostering. Thankfully my husband supports me completely. Maybe you and your husband could consider fostering or adopting older children when you’re ready?

🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m there with youI didn’t have ppd with my first child (first marriage)But with my second child (second marriage)Not only was my recovery from hell (c section gone so wrong) Ppd hit me like a bitchMy husband didn’t understand and there were other issues also going on at the timeHe wants more kids because of his culture and the importance of having sons and carrying on the family name as he is the only male aside from our sonEven his family is like oh you guys should have more! Make our line grow!I’m over here like excuse me? Ummm no!Having a newborn on its own is challenging... having ppd on top of that and whatever other challenges relationship wise ... no thanksDon’t get me wrong I absolutely love babies but the thought of going through what I went through again is the reason I have a copper iud for 5 years When I had my son I had my mother with me but now we have relocated and are in a whole other country and I would not have my support system I had back homeEverything factors in for me as a just enjoy what you have and be thankful because rolling the dice is not something I wanna do
