[quote=Anonymous]First child at 37. Vaginal delivery with a very minor tear. Physical recovery was a breeze, and I felt mostly back to normal within a week or so. But I had crippling PPD/PPA exacerbated by a baby with severe reflux who didn’t sleep for more than 2 hours at a time until she was 6mo. EBF…BFing itself was easy for me, but I had an oversupply (not necessarily always a good thing), and baby nursed constantly because of the reflux. Second child at 41. Quick vaginal delivery, no tearing. Physical recovery was again very easy…but it was so easy that I overdid it and had much more intense post-partum bleeding…so take it easy, no matter how great you think you feel. I managed to avoid the worst of the PPD the second time around, thankfully. I ended up combo feeding pretty early on with my second child. I didn’t have the supply I had the first time around, so we started supplementing with a bottle of formula a day when she was around a week or so old. [/quote]
