Hard to word this in the subject.
But I suffered very badly with postnatal anxiety, child is now 6. I was in a very scary place mentally. I still take a low dose of sertraline. I'm in a very good and resilient place though now.
I have been separated from their dad for 3 years and haven't thought I'd want another child again after all the trauma.
Now I'm dating and meeting people that would want a child with their future partner and it's making me question if being scared of having another baby is a big enough reason to not have one?!
If I didn't think about the past, I'd love another baby FYI. With the right person, my forever person.
I'm turning down further dates with people because they say they would like kids in the future.
