Just with my second, although with my first son I would say I 'got through his baby years' rather than enjoying them. I also had a lot more help and more time to sit down and relax. So maybe I had it but didn't know or would have had it if he had been my second...this make sense?

Just with second child (4 year gap) although I can't say I enjoyed first child in early months/first year. I always felt I 'just got through' so maybe I had mild depression. I also had more help with first and more time to relax (well sit down occasionally)!

Hi
Wow it must be hard work with 3 little ones, sam. I think even without PNI you'd feel pretty wrecked. You will get through this difficult time. I read somewhere if you don't recover from PNI before getting pregnant it can make PNI following future births harder. Were you ok during pregnancy?
I've heard though that having a small gap, whilst hard when they are little, means they'll have more in common when they get a bit older adn probably get on better. Froma practical view they'll go to the same school and probably go to the same clubs so you wont' be as torn withthe chauffering!

None with my first that I recall, 5 years later severe with my 2nd but I didnt realise I had it till she was 18mths.
Mild with my 3rd 3 years ago, severe with my 4th - now - I also had pre natal depression with the 4th, I didnt want any more children, first 3 are girls last is a boy, I also didnt really want a boy so that didnt help .
nos 1 and 2 have different fathers 3 & 4 have the same father
