Postnatal depression and another baby

[RachelDC]

I was wondering peoples thoughts as to trying for another baby while still under going treatment for PND.

I have two kids (5 and 2) and have always wanted 3. I really want another child although I know the risks, its has got to a stage where I dream about new borns alot.

Has anyone gone through this?

The GP recently tried to take me off my medication and it didnt go well, so I will have to stay on the AD's for now.

I haven't been in your position as I had finished my PND treatment before we started trying for DD but my doctor did say that fluoxetine, which is what I was on, is what they give to women who are pregnant and suffering with depression. So it is possible to get pregnant and continue your treatment.

I have used it twice and found it to be very good. It is also used for bad PMT which I will consider if mine comes back again. HTH.

Thanks for the input couple of things what does DH and TTC stand for?

Ahh on iPhone so it doesn't appear.
