The reason is if I don't do it now I won't do it. I need Damien to still be having naps in the day so I can nap too when pg/with new baby. Being pregnant I was so so happy, off meds, and actually quite settled (dispite the problems I had). I know what you're saying, but I know it will make me happier, and at least give me a reason for my body being a mess. Then maybe I should wait? I don't know. But all I have is Damien and if I cling to him forver it'll never work. If I leave it too long I won't be able to do it. My problem isn't baby blues/PND, it's depression, and I had it before Damien and it was caused by bullying, feeling of no-self-worth, my ex bashing me about and losing 3 babies. I just want to regain some normality in life and do what normal people do - get engaged, have children, have a perfect little life.
I'm not arguing Sarah, just trying to explain if it's understandable? It's a hard one to understand unless you have been through it or are in my shoes. If I held off till I didn't have depression, I'd never have another baby. It's gonna be with me for the rest of my life, as it is with my mum, and was with her dad. Trying for a baby gives me something to focus on and take the crappy thoughts away, as it did when I was pregnant.
Does any of that make any sense?
