I am prone to depression anyway and did suffer with PPD but only with my first of three children. Thank God it did not last too long! So, I feel very sad for this woman and remember feeling very similar. But, those feelings, if they happen at all, do pass. I am glad she found help and hope she can return to enjoying her family again. For me, even though I grew up NOT planning to ever have children, I can look back and know that without a doubt - having and raising my three was the very best time of my life. Well, now I am entering grandmotherhood - that may be even better!
I am glad I was wrong about my initail plan not to have a family.

Others just know and stick with their decisions and it is right for them. But, I would hope that the fear of PPD is never a sole reason to avoid having children. It is just a statistic and a fairly small one. It is also not permanent. It passes.
