Hello administrator
Can I have a private post please….

I am a happily married woman pushing 40 years old we have no kids
But we are thinking of trying for a baby soon
My problem is I have in the past suffered mental illness depression and schizophrenia
Twice I had a breakdown but with the help of medication I am doing great very stable and have been stable for a number of years now
I have been to see a doc for pregnancy with mental illness and they have changed my medication so that it won’t effect or harm the unborn child so that’s great and I’m doing great on the new medication
But! I am terrified! I am afraid I’ll be a bad mother that I might have a 3rd breakdown or suffer post natal depression or just will not be able to cope with everything having a baby brings
It’s really getting to me lately as I am not getting any younger and my husband would love to have a child
I don’t have much support it would mainly be just my husband as family live a distance away so I am scared I won’t cope when he is working and I’m alone with a baby

Have any of u been in similar situation? How did you manage? Should I just say no to having a baby? Or should I stop fretting and go for it? All and any advice is much appreciated thank you
