hi there!
just thought i'd add my 2-cents worth... sorry about more negativity and my sad life bio but the 1st thing i thought of when reading your post was my experiences of post-natal depression. Suffering from severe depression for years, as well as borderline personality disorder, I have suffered terribly from PND after each pregnancy. After my 1st I was also diagnosed with PTSD as a result of all the trauma suffered as a result of the pregnancy, birth and her heart surgery + complications after. My 2nd was stillborn so that caused even more major problems. And my youngest has just turned 2 (last month) yet I am still on all the meds I was put on after being admitted to hospital when she was 5mths old after an overdose of sleeping tablets (I was desperate for a few hours of unbroken sleep)... ended up with severe depression with major psychotic episodes diagnosis and went through more than 25 lots of ECT, being separated from no1 for 4mths, and so much more. I am still not doing great (but 100x better than 2 yrs ago), and have had to have my tubes tied so as to ensure no more pregnancies- mostly because of the effect they have had on my mental health (I am still mid-20's, and newly single so this will have a huge impact on future romances). For 2-3 years before I married and had my kids I had many pregnancy scares, and thought that I would love to have a child, and thought I had it all sussed and prepared for. I look back now and realise that I never considered all this other stuff, like what has been said already by myself, wi-fighter and the other members as well as what I went through. I also hope that this is just a scare and that you are not pregnant- you will need so much support if you are, and I hope that there will be plenty of help and support available to you. Outside help is all very well (this is what I have had to rely on for 98% of the time) but parental and partner support goes so much further; not that I have much experience with that!
Good luck and please let us know what is happening with you.
