[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do whatever is best for you.  There isn’t a right or wrong here.  With my first, we told people instantly without thinking about timing.  With our second, we waited until the 5th month to tell any family because they all go overboard and it was nice to have a quieter pregnancy.  I still didn’t think about timing the announcement based upon anyone else.  [/quote]

OP- Thanks for this and the other helpful advice. I’m going to give her a heads up and tell the rest of my family at the end of the first trimester. My sister had PPD after her first child and I’m genuinely afraid of doing something that will make her feel bad after her second child. It sounds like most people don’t care about something like this, but my sister may not be someone who falls into that camp. [/quote]

I had PPD as well... although, mine felt exasperated by the fact that I was getting exactly zero sleep (colicky baby) and I had no idea what I was doing.

About a month in, and after being prescribed Zoloft, I was so much better, that I didn't need it anymore.

As a precaution, my OB wrote a prescription for Zoloft for after my second, just in case... I didn't need it at all.

Each delivery is different -- I hope your sister has a similar experience as mine.
