Thank you

nothing specific but pregnancy does use up vitamin and mineral stores.. if you're not replacing those, things like PPD can get consecutively worse.

Thank You Jodie.
I found an article with a connection between these two health issues and was interested to find out if anyone else had come across any studies.

It's not a definite (of course), it just mentioned that woman who have any form of diabetes are twice as likely to suffering from PPD as those that haven't had diabetes. So I thought that was an interesting correlation.

As for consecutive bouts of PPD I wasn’t after any personal testimonies (as I know it is a difficult issue to discuss sometimes and very personal) just a link, or comments, or any stories from the women here may have, or know of.

I was interested to know if anyone was aware if it is common for woman who have experienced PPD and have gone on to have more children whether their PPD was worse or better second time around.

God Bless & thank you again for responding.
