Sahar Martinez, Psy.D, LMFT :
Having my second baby was the most profoundly healing experience of my life. My first fundamentally changed who I am and my second healed the parts of me that broke wide open. Now I’m a therapist that works with moms in their own journey into motherhood

My second postpartum experience healed my heart in ways I didn’t know were possible. It felt like my redemption. I was able to enjoy every moment knowing how fast the first year flys. I was able to manage and cope more in times of difficulty knowing they were temporary. There are still hard moments, days and weeks but the confidence you have as a mother the second time around carry you through❤️which ever decision you make will be right.❤️

You didn’t ask for this experience but as an only child, I never felt alone like people say. I was close with my cousins and often got to bring my bffs on family trips and vacations. Do what is best for you, because that’s what is best for your family. 🥰

It’s okay to be okay with just having one kid. They don’t NEED siblings.

If it’s any encouragement my 2nd postpartum has been COMPLETELY different. It’s been a dream. 1st one had me wanting to not be here anymore (not in a jokingly way)

THIS. I want more kids so bad but i’m willing to sacrifice having more if it means im never that version of myself again. The depressed, absolutely lost and anxious person i was those first few months. It’s terrifying looking back and seeing how sad i was and i don’t want to be there again 😭😭😭

2nd time was so much better, it was so redemptive. I knew what to expect. I didn’t breastfeed AT ALL.

Being an only child was the absolute BEST. Never desired a sibling, and I got to grow up with the best memories. As an adult my parents became my best friends, and that’s still true today 🤍 it is OKAY to have just one kid, don’t let people tell you otherwise

I had a really dark period of postpartum depression with one of my babies. I have five babies. I only had this with one but I thought it was going to ruin my dream of having a big family. With the other four, I certainly had varying levels of postpartum depression and anxiety but not to a level that affected me the way my one child did. I feared that post partum heaviness every time though. Have the baby if you want the baby ❤️just give yourself permission to keep yourself as a top priority still along the way 🙌🫶

Can’t wait to hold the new baby for you so you can get up and clean the house

The second was like wearing a life jacket. Suddenly you can float, swim, breathe easier. There’s a bigger kid to distract you from all of the anxiety. So much love for two little people. It was so wildly different and such a healing experience 🥰

Allison White :
My 2nd postpartum had me realizing that my Pp anxiety in the first pregnancy was so much worse than I thought. I was much more “awake” this time around. I found myself asking, “oh did his brother do this as a baby” and my husband confirming he did but I didn’t remember it at all. I say this because I’m able to soak it all in this time with limited fear because I know I made it the first time!

My second has been night and day. My physical recovery has been faster. I knew what to prepare for mentally and set myself up for success ahead of time. I never realized how truly traumatic my first birth was until this one. My delivery was healing and this experience has just been incredible in so many ways. 😩😭🩷

Our first babies were twins, and postpartum was so so hard. The experience we had with our third baby was truly cathartic. I felt so much more confident as a parent and never felt like I was drowning or losing myself as a person. Our third baby healed me in ways I didn’t know I needed, and I would live that experience over and over if I could ♥️Please know every baby and postpartum experience is different, and your second baby could be completely different from your first. And if you decide you don’t want another baby, that’s fine, too! Your family is wonderful as it is, and it will be wonderful if you add another child, too ♥️

Meghan | Therapist 🛋️🤍 :
This is so valid. Postpartum isn’t just hormones …it’s grief, identity shifts, overstimulation, and loneliness wrapped in love. May your next chapter be one where you feel held, not just by others, but by your own nervous system🤍

I didn’t think I was “in the trenches” as much as I was with my first, until I had my second (literally had a panic attack the first night home). But everything about my second journey PP was different. Having two babies felt empowering. I don’t know how to explain it. But for me, the second was SO much easier to navigate through.

Katrina Heinrichs (Tracy) :
I needed this comment section bad. I’m also terrified of having another baby because my first postpartum experience was horrible. I basically slept for 2 weeks while my husband took care of our son and then had to be put on 2 different medications to pull me out of my depression.

Faith.Rae. :
I had severe PPA with my first. Severe. Like my daughter’s infancy is such a blur to me. And was so scared for my second. But he came, and I felt more confident, and my daughter was there with me and my mind felt oddly calmer?? Amongst the chaos. I didn’t have nighttime scaries, instead I read them both a book. I didn’t stare at the monitors all night long. I felt more comfortable taking breaks away from them too. My second is my last, and I’m grateful for the drastically different PP experience.

Second one was easier. I was like heck I can do this again like next week! I didn’t. I have 2 wonderful girls and they are 4 years apart and get along well. Have them closer than 4 years together is my advice. This is the last year I’ll ever drop them at the same school again. Once my kid leaves for middle they are too far apart and that makes me sad the younger wont have her in high school years.

My second time around felt so much better. I didn't worry over every little thing, felt a little bit more confident as a mother, and I still felt like me/like our family, just with another one to love. ❤️

I was soooo scared to have a second but it was sooo different. It felt so much more comfortable. My first was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done but my second idk it was comforting almost. Hard to describe but it was so different
