Sometimes you just have to abandon control.

in PPD

Some of you have probably been able to sense this was coming.

Some of you know me and can read my words, between my words, so well.

After a phone call with my therapist, and a visit with my doctor I am back on medication.

As much as I was hoping to stay off of any medication until 3rd tri, it’s not the responsible choice for me.

I am confident in the decision we made.

I am hopeful that soon I will return to normal.

In the mean time patience and prayers, grace and mercy.

Being a good momma starts with being good to you. Good for you for doing what’s best for your whole family, starting with you.

Good decision.

I was on medication during the second half of my pregnancy. Antenatal depression is a serious and overlooked condition. It was a very difficult decision for me. But one of the best I’ve ever made.

Giving birth to my second child was one of the most blissful times in my life and I hope it is for you too :)
