I had severe PND with my first son and it was awful. It took a long time to get over it but I did and we are expecting our second in 5 weeks. Ive met with a specialist midwife this time to discuss things in advance of the birth. She's asked me to consider starting medication the day he is born as a preventative measure. Now I need to decide whether to wait and see and hope it doesn't happen again or take the medication to avoid any risk of it happening again. I know only I can decide but would appreciate other thoughts/perspectives!
