Hi everyone
My daughter had pp almost 2 years ago after the birth of her first child. She has now made a full recovery and been off medication for 6 months. She is now pregnant it’s early days just 6 weeks into her pregnancy. I’m terrified it will all happen again plus she has a toddler too. Does anyone have any advice?
I had my son in March 14 and suffered pp and my daughter July 16 with no pp.
It was vital for me to ge a block of sleep so my family took turns on night feeds for first 6-8 weeks and I was pp free. They viewed it as it was difficult but easier than me before my sectioned.
Having a baby and toddler was ver hard but I’m so happy now as they are best friends and love the same activities. It would be hard whatever age gap.
Anyway, my advice would be protected sleep, there are night nurses in UK (expensive) but very worth it if family cannot support nightly Or every other
I opted to take medication on delivery. There will be no third baby but not sure if I would again.
Good luck
