Post Partum Depression Support Group

Always realize that once you have depression, you may always deal with it. But also know that once you've been there, you are going to know what to do the next time. It's great that your husband is very supportive, because you may be able to tell him to let you know how you are acting so that you can get a grip on it quicker. My OBGYN told me that she would be willing to send me home from the hospital with a prescription if I needed it.

Also note that you probably will be able to get pregnant sooner the second time around because your body has already done it one time and it knows what it's doing.

Your always going to have good days and bad days but once you get to that place of realization that it's going to be ok and just take one day at a time, you'll be ready then. You still have a few years left before the "advanced maternal age" stigma and do it only when you feel ready. Maybe it would be better to wait until you feel your child is less dependant on you so that you can get a break from changing diapers,etc. Only you will know when you are ready.
