Prolactin from breastfeeding just might induce attachment, and then you would want to keep the child. Or perhaps not - you will be making a level-headed decision. Or you may decide not to breastfeed but instead take your medications, and they will help you make a level-headed decision.

i might postpone finding out the sex. it depends on how i'm feeling. i'm just going to try and take things day by day. i do plan to breastfeed... so maybe that will help with attachment.
I want to be the best parent possible for this baby. So hopefully i can find a therapist and continue therapy throughout the rest of this pregnancy and after the baby is born.
