Suggest Solution For Post Natal Depression And Sleep Deprivation

Hi doctor, I have a history of depression and use Prozac or its generic in my twenties but stopped in my thirties. Then I became quite depressed after my first child and used Serdep for a period of time. After 2 years I stopped using it and felt great up until recently, (I used Vitality from Nu Skin and it worked) but the last few weeks I have been considering starting again because of my state of mind lately. We are also planning a second child soon and I want to know what can I use that is safe during pregnancy, because Vitality is not recommended? I am 40 already so time is running out for me to have another baby but I am so scared of post natal depression and the sleep deprivation that I had with my first. I feel I don t even have enough energy to get out of the bed sometimes let alone take care of a toddler of 3 and a baby. Please help! Thank you, Cecile
