[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s your mental health issue? Pregnancy and postpartum will challenge any person so if you have mental health issues you need a strong postpartum support plan, too. Sleep deprivation is hell and will exacerbate many other issues from the hormones, stress, lactation, and normal baby/mom/relationship/self adjustment issues. Please make sure you have a good therapist, find a good postpartum support group, and throw lots of money at postpartum help, especially a night nurse.  [/quote]

This.

I know someone whose PPD sent them into a serious tailspin for several years. They only had one baby because of how terrifying the next 2-3 years were…and they had buckets of money and a ridiculous amount of help.

Is your partner really, really, super duper up for being the primary caregiver if things go south? Because that’s who needs to step up. I can immediately think of a handful of scenarios I know of irl where this was the case. In two instances the mom was already the breadwinner. [/quote]
