Just thinking about what my mum was saying to DH about "what was she thinking about, getting pregnant?" etc. Mum doesn't know the extent of my depression, but obviously can see some of the effects ie. pretty housebound etc. etc. and now I don't know how to feel about "getting pregnant". Depression is just something I am learning to live with at the moment - I have spend about 4 years trying to "cure" it, putting my life on hold and now I think I have to just live my life and wait for it to pretty much go on it's own. I could be like this for another 6 months, or another 6 years... or forever so it's hard to think " ok, I will make sure I am a 100% better before having another baby". Do you think it's irresponsible? Did you wait/go ahead etc?
