[quote=Anonymous]My kids are early elementary, so maybe this will change in 10 years but my biggest regret right now is that when I was diagnosed with PPD at six weeks postpartum with my middle child, I didn’t immediately make dramatic changes to make life less miserable. I should have immediately gotten a night nanny and gotten WAY more sleep. I should have weaned to formula. I should have cancelled all our planned trips that first year (which only stressed me out). Whatever it took to feel better. I could have recovered so much more quickly. Instead, I wasted 16 months of my life being absolutely miserable and completely missed out on the joy of my children during that time, and I’ll never get that time back with them. With the third, I did that all preemptively and it turns out - newborns don’t suck when you get enough sleep and aren’t depressed!![/quote]
