Oh and yes, I had two other children without psychosis afterward, but I did have problem pregnancies with all three (preeclamspia, high BP), and I did start to have intense PTSD flashbacks once the psychosis resolved with the second.

My current therapist says that women with PTSD are at much higher risk for postpartum psychosis, so perhaps she is right.

It still fascinates me. Like, how does the brain do this stuff and why? When it happens to you, you have a much more driving need to understand. It's hard to explain, but it's always there, hanging over me, the questions.
