Default Re: Post-Partum Depression

jaescafe - please do keep us posted. It wasn't easy to make a decision to not have any more children, so I applaud the courage you've shown. Certianly if you are pregnant, it is an issue I'm sure you will deal with. I don't know whether this is an option for you or not, however i actually chose to have my tubes tied after Abe was born (and I was 26 at the time). If you are not pregnant, it would be a good time to talk seriously with your husband about how to limit the nubmer of pregnancies you have. (As a side note, our regular doctor advised my husband to not get a vasectomy at his age, which was our first choice. It made me realize that the real person deciding to not have any more children was me, and I got my tubes tied. Even with my resolve, my obgyn, a woman, only felt all right about it at my age when she asked my husband if he agreed! Totally illegal, but it made everyone fel better, so I went along with it.)
