After perinatal or postpartum depression, the decision to have another baby can be fraught with emotion.
Rebecca Fox Starr movingly shares her story and those of others who have decided to carry, adopt, or not have another child and helps readers explore their own feelings about their own baby ever after.
In her last book Beyond the Baby Blues: Anxiety and Depression During and After Pregnancy Rebecca Fox Starr gave a candid account of her battle with prenatal and postpartum anxiety and depression.
Rebecca's story has touched readers deeply and, as her own journey has continued, so has her story, having veered in an unexpected direction: the decision about a future baby.
What many people do not realize is that the idea of another pregnancy post-postpartum can be cripplingly frightening to a woman and her loved ones.
Rebecca addresses this woefully in her first book, opening up about her sadness that her shop is closed.
Having a baby was an option taken off the table, for a reason completely out of her control.
Until it wasn't.
In 2017 Rebecca and her husband began exploring the idea of expanding their family, and, therefore consulted experts in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, perinatal mental health, fertility, adoption, surrogacy, and grief (in coping with the idea that, despite all of the options, the most sound of all could be to not have another child).
Books on the topic of pregnancy after postpartum depression are scarce, making it difficult to find support or advice.
This book, anchored in Rebecca's story, offers an informative guide to the expert advice and insight, alongside current research, for women who want to explore pregnancy and other family expansion options after postpartum depression.
With heartfelt stories, clinical data, and a consideration of the range of options and the emotions that along with them, Rebecca's book fills a gaping hole in an area that leaves too many women feeling abjectly alone.
