I had it after my first, but not my second. I changed jobs I between babies, and I think the high stress job I had right after DS1 was a major contributor to my PPD. Once the job situation was less stressful, I had an easier time dealing with new baby stress. I will say that I continued to see the therapist I saw after DS1 through my pregnancy with DS2 and for several months after his birth just as a way to take extra care of my mental health. I think it helped :. Good luck. The best thing about baby no. 2 is that so many of the things that were overwhelming and scary the first time were less so when I knew what to expect.
