Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I had several miscarriages before finally conceiving DS. I also had a long history of depression and anxiety.
After his birth I had severe PND. It was a very dark time and I was suicidal.
I am now in much better place mentally (though I still have the odd bad patch). DS is wonderful, my career is going from strength to strength and my marriage is the strongest it's ever been.
DH wants a second child, and I'm starting to accept that I do too. I'm so scared though, I don't want to go back to the place I was after DS's birth, and I'm not sure I could survive it again.
Has anyone else gone through similar or have any words of wisdom to guide me?
