When I became pregnant with my 2nd child, I took a break from therapy until a few months after the birth so that I could focus on my family, my son, my baby, my pregnancy, the birth, etc. without the stressful and depressing focus on all the old stuff. I didn't want the negativity interfering with having a calmer and more positive experience. I found it to be a really good decision, and I found the whole focus on the expanding family and all that entails was refreshing. My T encouraged me to take that break as he also worried about the effects such stresses would have on me and the pregnancy. Maybe a break for a few months might be in order.
