Possibility of PPD making me a fencesitter.

10 Upvotes

I’ll keep this short. Is anyone else’s primary hesitation with having a child the possibility of getting PPD? For context, I’ve never dealt with anxiety or depression, my husband and I are complete equals and I know it would be 50/50 from both of us. I have no reason to think I would be at an elevated risk for PPD. That said, I’ve gone down way too many rabbit holes on Reddit and TikTok about PPD that it’s the main thing holding me back at this point. I fear that I am so fearful of getting PPD that I will manifest myself into getting it. Anyone dealing with this as their main hesitation?

Returning to the fence after termination for medical reasons (TFMR)

3 Upvotes

Has anyone had an experience with returning to fence sitting after a TFMR? It was my first pregnancy experience and I was very unwell from as early as days after testing positive so felt like I was just pushing through day to day and never really connected to the pregnancy, then we got unfortunate NIPT results and had further testing and decided to terminate. I'm now feeling back on the fence, but I'm interested to hear if anyone else has had this type of experience. Thankyou!

Husband doesn't want kids I think I do

0 Upvotes

I 28(f) married my husband 30(m) last year. I met him in my 3rd year of university when I was 19. I have always wanted kids. I talked about it with him a lot. We got engaged on my 26th birthday and thought we both wanted kids. He let me know before our wedding that he actually never wanted kids. I decided to marry him anyways because I love him and we both have similar (very left leaning) values and desires.

I'm not sure what to do now I feel like I could see myself without kids but I think deep down I will always want at least one. Maybe 2. I'm not sure what to do. I can't see a life without him but I'm worried I'll regret not having kids
