I really like the idea about buying restaurant gift certificates to use after the baby is born, and creating an action plan. This is a really serious issue, it's great to see it addressed with some constructive suggestions. Wow.

But with the second I was much more aware of the triggers and the self talk I could use to calm my thoughts down. But, at the time when I had no idea how to deal it was terrifying. As a single mother the stress was so high and the support so in between I just thought I was crazy. It is so comforting to hear other moms discuss this issue.
