I do not think the OP should have a third child, as she does not want one.

However, this is categorically false.

I had PPD after my second child. It was incredibly difficult, and it took about 16 months for me to recover. But I'd always wanted a bigger family, and once I'd recovered not a single medical professional (my OB, my therapist who specialized in postpartum issues, my psychiatrist, my GP) told me this. In fact, I had conversations with each of them about the risks of having a third child, and all of them focused on how to prevent PPD, how to prepare in case in happened again, and how to treat it proactively should symptoms occur. No one said they'd recommend I not have another baby. None even cautioned against it, and all worked with me to prepare.

I did go on to have a third child and did not have PPD with that pregnancy. [/quote]
