Just wondering how your mood did with the other two children? With my son I ended up in treatment for PPD after not sleeping for days at a time and showing all the symptoms. With my second child I shot directly up and felt better than ever. After my second my episodes got more regular and intense.
My dr seemed to imply to me that my situation was abnormal, as far as the extreme opposite moods following my children, but I didn't know what to make of that.
