Thanks so much for posting this and keep thinking positive, ok? It is the brain that tells the body how it is doing "mind versus body effect". So let go of thinking you are going through this again – no two pregnancies are alike and no two postpartum periods are either. Continue to take your multi-vitamins, Omega's, and anti-depressants if prescribed. Congratulations on the upcoming event! Make it a celebration of a new life and concentrate on the positive. DEAL?
