Is this Group Right for Me?

This group is for women/birthing parents who had a PMAD with their previous child and are thinking about having another child, are currently pregnant, or are recently postpartum. If you feel anxious or depressed about having another baby and/or having a PMAD again, experience a return of symptoms during pregnancy or postpartum with your second, are curious about what you can do to create a different outcome for yourself this time, looking for a community of other women/birthing people who are going through a similar experience as your own, then this group is for you.
