I have heard that if i have another child i will get postpartum depression again, but worse. is this true? i did not get it with my first child.

Post partum : If you have not had depression before (at any time in your life) your risk does not increase with a second, third or later child. If you have had it before, then your risk is higher, but you can take steps to avoid it or to be treated very early.

No that is not true.: If you did not get it with your first child, your risk should be no greater than the general population of childbearing women, which is between 10-20%. The risk would only increase beyond that if you experienced PPD before. Then, the risk for a subsequent pregnancy would increase up to 50%. However there are ways to lower that seem to lower that risk factor.. Preventative measures.
