With the second, it seems that you expect more from yourself and your ability to cope, but in reality you have more responsibility, more at stake, and often less help than the first time around. It may help to remember that you are actually just like a first time mom again - only now it's the first time you've had TWO kids to worry about. Be gentle with yourself! <em><strong>Thank you, you're right.</strong></em> Many moms suffer from PPD even though they did not experience it with their first children.

But there are so many times when it's just not possible. I know that you will make it through your tough time because you have much love and support surrounding you! I know you're strong enough to conquer anything in your way. Please know that no matter what, you've always got friends in us up in the north! Take care of yourself and make sure to get some time for yourself sometimes, as hard as it is to do it. It's always easier said than done, but I've found that if I can get a few moments, even grocery shopping on my own, it gives me time to think and get perspective on a hard time. <em><strong>Thanks, you're right.</strong></em> Life can be so overwhelming sometimes and as moms we’re expected to take it all in stride, never complain and live with it.

By the way, you can do it - I'm rooting for you. :) Sending big hugs and prayers – I know I am far away but if I can help in any way, let me know. By the way, you can do it – I’m rooting for you. :)
