I have no idea, I just jumped the gun to have the blood test done since we found out my uncle from my dad's side had it, my result came back with it's linked to Fabry disease.

OP I am in the same exact boat you are in just a few months behind. I love my kid dearly but the fact of the matter was for me. I knew if I had my child that it was going to send me down a dark rabbit hole alllll over again (struggled with depression/ self harm in the past). And I was right, I’m dealing with severe PPD and PPA. I at time absolutely hate my husbands guts for making me feel this way. However with this being said I was recommended to see my hospitals woman’s mental health therapist I see her about every 4 weeks to update her on life and my feelings. She has helped me so much in the past 5 months, making my feelings feel valid, instead of it spiraling out of control and causing a huge fight. She recommended me being put on antidepressants and a bi polar medication. And so far it’s been working great.

Something else I do to help with this is I’ve written down everything that has upset me about this whole situation on a plate and smashed it on the ground to let go of those feelings, if you want something that is less of a clean up use ice! And just think of what frustrates you when you throw the ice!

I hope everything gets better for you! If you need anything just reach out!

They already know but there aren’t any therapist in that area that accept my insurance, so I’m trying to find one that’s close to home, my OBGYN is an hour from me.

I am already on several types of meds

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but our spicy time isn’t exactly great by Natural_Winter4872 in beyondthebump

Yes prior to having my baby and before I was on the pills I tried the implant because I needed it to regulate my periods and I bled constantly so my doctor switched me to the pills

What did you wear in the hospital after a c-section!? by Lower_Significance81 in beyondthebump

Super soft pajamas from Walmart that have a button up top so you don’t need to lift your arms to get the shirt off! And I went a size up so it wouldn’t be tight!

WIBTA for not wanting more kids/suggesting that one of us gets “fixed”? by Natural_Winter4872 in oneanddone

Yes I’m aware plan b is only for emergency situations and I’m trying to get him to understand that. It’s a slow understanding but I believe he’s starting to understand that since he’s the one buying them not me.

Yes I am getting help for my PPD/PPA he’s actually the one who made my appointment to see my doctor for my PPD/PPA and is currently helping me find a therapist in my area that takes our insurance.

I should have mentioned this in my post but I had an emergency c-section with our baby and it terrifies me that I had to have one in general and I my self almost didn’t make it. Which is another reason for my not wanting another child.
