I was one of those, like Mall...I never thought I'd have or WANT babies. But when I met my prince that is all I wanted. It took me longer than most people to get to that point and maybe I'm an "older" mom than the majority but I wouldnt have it any other way. I had some carefree time where I was earning a good salary, lived in NYC on my own and enjoying my work....but once I met my prince and had my babies, THIS is when I felt that my life had real and true meaning.
As far as baby blues, your friend should really see her doc although that isnt something that I'd personally do unless I thought the health of myself or my baby were at stake. But when you think about it, hormone levels increase THOUSANDS of times during pregnancy and once the baby is delivered, hormone levels decrease THOUSANDS of times...surely, this can lead to difficulty and may (or may NOT) require medication to smooth things over till levels adjust. A trusted doc would be the one to determine whether this would be the best course of action or not.
Best thing to do for your friend....purchase something pretty and frilly for her, show up at her house and tell her to go away for a few hours while you care for her baby. Tell her - take a looong nap. Or get a pedicure. Or go to BK and have yourself a whopper with cheese and read the latest issue of People. Go AWAY, I will take good care of baby and I dont want to see you for 3 or 4 hours. WHAT I'd have given for a gift such as this!!!!
