I had PP 10 years ago with my first child. I had ECT that was successful, after anti psycotic drugs failed. I was in a Mother & Baby unit for 7 months. My relationship failed through this, and my road to recovery was a long process... but i did recover! I also went on to have Twins!!!!! That are now 7 months old!!! Naturally and healthily and can happily say i am no longer on any drugs and feel great! I went on to write a book -Saving Grace- By Grace Sharrock which is available to buy on Amazon. You can go on to have more children safely!!! I am living proof of that!! Have a good care plan and everything in place with your nearest and dearest at hand! I took Lithium in small doses at end of pregnancy until 4 months after the birth as a precautionary measure. It worked!! I am fine! Loving partner and 3 beautiful children I am very happy! Dont give up! Read my Story- Saving Grace Grace Sharrock - Amazon.

Hi there, I am so happy to read that you had ECT as well as my daughter. Having read all the forum you realise that not many get this treatment but I can truley say that it works. They tried all the drugs on my daughter and they did not work, The only thing that worked was the ECT and she has had no drugs for ages. I will buy your book to give my daughter.  Take care and give your kids all the love they deserve.

Dear Grace

Just to let you know I purchased your book a few days ago and I can't put it down. I suffered pp 13 years ago. I thought it might upset me, with all the reminders of what happened to me, but it hasn't so far, it is so nicely written. I'm just at the part where you thought hospital staff were family members, or friends from the past.  This exact same thing happened to me.  I thought one of the nurses was my mum when she was younger, one of the patients I thought was my aunty, another patient my sister-in-law, my psychiatrist I thought was my uncle.  Isn't is strange!i  I'll let you know how I get on with the rest of the book.
love

I have ordered your book today.  It has really helped reading other peoples experiences on here.  When you are going through it yourself you feel so alone.  I'm glad you went on to have more children and did not suffer with PP again.

Hi there, My daughter bought your book for me to read and now it's going through the family. I found it very interesting and some of the things that happened to you brought back painful memories when my daughter went through this sadness. Glad you are well and I'm hapy to say my daughter is too.
