For me I have prenatal depression(depression while pregnant) with #1 and then severe PND with #2. I must admit, I do worry about whether it will happen again this time.

I am pretty sure I have prenatal depression at the moment.]]> Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:25:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5832843&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5832843 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5831743&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5831743 Author: Free2BeMe

I've had PND 3 times now, after each child, no more babies for me! The first time was undiagnosed, but when my second was born I completely lost the plot, it was very bad. I managed to get through that with meds. Was terrified when pregnant again, and although I did get PND again, it was much less traumatic, as I had alerted friends, family and my GP to watch me, and if I did not realise I was slipping into depression, they were to step in, and make sure I got help.
In fact I did recognise it on my own, and about 4 months pp went back on the meds.]]> Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:07:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5831743&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5831743 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5804337&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5804337 Author: ALittleLoopy

I have to agree with you on this one. I had PND with my first DD who is now 5 yrs. Sadly i have never been able to shake the long term effects of it and am starting to worry about what will happen with this pregnancy. ]]> Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:31:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5803858&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5803858 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5800662&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5800662 Author: flyingmum

Really appreciate this forum as we are thinking about trying for #2 in the next few months and am worried about a recurrence of pnd.

I was diagnosed when my DD was about 4 months, she's now 2 and I've been off the meds for 5weeks (YAY!) and am feeling great! But I do feel a bit anxious that it might reoccur after #2 is born...having said that I do feel much stronger now and much more aware of some of the things that triggered the depression the first time round (including going back to work way too early and forcing myself to express full time because she couldn't BF)]]> Sat, 02 Jun 2012 09:31:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5800662&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5800662 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5796366&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5796366 Author: myfullhouse

This is what I did. I had PND with #1 but it wasn't diagnosed until #2 was 6wks old, although to be honest I knew I had it from the beginning. When DS2 was about 4mths old I had counselling that really helped. I have PND again with #3 but I was able to manage it pretty well until she was about 8-10wks old and then I decided to go back onto meds. I would really recommend counselling]]> Sun, 06 May 2012 19:21:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5796366&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5796366 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5796010&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5796010 Author: Kellz

I had terrible pnd after #1, at its worst when she was 15 months. I got better, and returned to part-time work, then we had #2 when DD was 3years 3 months old.

Ive been fine! DS is now 2yrs 3 months and DD is 5 1/2yrs. Im an emotional person and still have days when I think " OMG what was I doing having 2 kids, and cry a lot, but 99 % of the time Im fine!

Maybe you could contact mothers matter and see what they recommend. Good luck!]]> Thu, 03 May 2012 19:48:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5796010&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5796010 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5795964&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5795964 Author: Hadlam

This has been a forum topic for a couple of others but didn't wanna hijack anyone elses forum.

I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant with my second child. When I was pregnant with my DS (now 2) I was not happy about it which resulted in me being diagnosed with PND when he was 8 months old and having therapy with Mothers matters. All has been well since then.

Although I'm excited this time - I'm getting more and more anxious about the idea of getting PND again especially at the idea of having a then 3 year old and newborn to look after.

Has anyone been through similar? How did you cope?]]> Thu, 03 May 2012 16:04:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41985&PID=5795964&title=pnd-2nd-time-round#5795964
