Dragon - Bub sounds like you've had a rough road with bub and PND and guess what...you've survived!!! Probably very well might I add. Only you can make the decision as to when you'd like to TTC again and only you will know if you can handle another bub emotionally and mentally.

Does your MIL have foot in mouth disease? Was she a good mother? Maybe she is talking from her own personal experience and feelings?

If her comment is really bothering you please politely ask her what she meant.

My SIL has had 2 very unsettled babies 18 months apart. Both have sleep issues and both have disgestive and allergies problems. To say the least the poor woman has been through hell. She often turns up to my Dad's place in tears and on the surface it seems that she is not coping. But in reality she hasn't had a full night of sleep for 3 years, and she gets no help from by darling brother. My Dad comments that she can't cope etc, but to be honest if I was in her situation I would be exactly the same if not worse. In fact she is a great mum who has a lot of extra stress placed on her and she is only human.

I don't think family or people should comment until they've walked a mile in someone else's shoes..

Hugs
