In Beyond the Baby Blues: Anxiety and Depression During and After
Pregnancy Rebecca Fox Starr gives a candid account of her battle
with prenatal and postpartum anxiety and depression. Rebecca’s
story has touched readers deeply and, as her own journey has
continued, so has her story, having veered in an unexpected
direction: the decision about a future baby. What many people do
not realize is that the idea of another pregnancy post-postpartum
can be cripplingly frightening to a woman and her loved ones.
Rebecca addresses this woefully in her first book, opening up about
her sadness that her “shop is closed.” Having a baby was an
option taken off the table, for a reason completely out of her
control. Until it wasn’t. In 2017 Rebecca and her husband began
exploring the idea of expanding their family, and, therefore
consulted experts in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology,
psychiatry, perinatal mental health, fertility, adoption,
surrogacy, and grief (in coping with the idea that, despite all of
the options, the most sound of all could be to not have another
child). Books on the topic of pregnancy after postpartum depression
are scarce, making it difficult to find support or advice. This
book, anchored in Rebecca’s story, offers an informative guide to
the expert advice and insight, alongside current research, for
women who want to explore pregnancy and other family expansion
options after postpartum depression. With heartfelt stories,
clinical data, and a consideration of the range of options and the
emotions that along with them, Rebecca’s book fills a gaping hole
in an area that leaves too many women feeling abjectly alone.
