Hi, I suffered with puerperal psychosis in 2006 a few months after my son was born (I felt fine but exhausted the first few months) - I spent 3 months in a Mother and Baby Unit and finally came off all my medication in October last year. I have feltl back to my normal self for a while now but still think about when I was ill a lot, especially as I am thinking about whether or not to have another baby in the next year or so. My son will start school next September and I am thinking about whether this would be a good time to have a baby, although my Husband understandilbly is really worried about whether I get ill again. Each doctor I have seen tends to give me a different answer on the likelihood/chances of getting ill again and I can't seem to find a lot of information on the internet about if people who have had pueperal psychosis once tend to get ill again if they have another baby? I don't know anyone else to talk to who has had the same illness as me and just wondered if you would ever consider having another baby?
