When I had my son I was in denial about my illness and therefore was not on any medication or in therapy. The pregnancy from what I remember didn't affect me that much but the lack of sleep after my son was born totally drove me crazy. I was irritable, anxious, depressed...but I was also under a LOT of stress as I was in my last semester of college doing my student teaching. And my son was colicky so he didn't sleep hardly ever. It was rough but I made it through. My husband wants another child but now that my illness has worsened I'm not sure I'll be able to do it again.
