that this would happen. Especially given my history. And also enduring a few setbacks after birth - the C-Section, the healing from the C-Section, not being able to breastfeed properly because of the pain from the C-Section, the UTI I had right after birth, having to take two rounds of antibiotics to fight the UTI, not being able breastfeed during the two rounds of antibiotics and now this: postpartum depression.
I've had to make a decision: Continue with the breastfeeding or take care of myself so that I can be there for the baby and take care of him properly. Unfortunately, the medication that will help me will not allow me to continue breastfeeding and this is beyond disappointing.
The important thing is that I'm healthy and the baby is healthy.

Marisa - never feel bad for taking care of yourself! The best thing for the baby is for him to have a healthy momma.
