Default Re: Post-Partum Depression

Jaescafe - Please let us know how things go. If you are not pregnant and decide that yes, definately, two children is enough for you, stick firm to that. You know ourself better than anyone and what you feel you can handle. After three miscarriages, we were blessed with our son (now 17). My post partum depression was so severe, I knew in my heart I couldn't have another child. At 26, I pushed to have my tubes tied, and our family doctor fought it and my obstetrician actually had my husband tell her it was all right with him! She questioned that at such a "young age" I knew what I was deciding. Trust me - I did and I have never regretted it. I have a wondrful relationship with my son, but have had bouts of depression since - another post partum would have not allowed me to be the mother that I am today.
