Quote From: suzannemarieWomen who deliver after HG are absolutely competent UNLESS secondary complications follow, and these are not the norm. Like any pregnant woman, HGers have a 20% chance of developing Postpartum Depression, though I would personally argue the risk would be slightly higher with HG patients due to the metabolic disturbances and depletion caused by the disease. The risk of HGers developing Postpartum Psychosis is the same as the general population of postpartum moms.
Physical recovery time varies. I continue to struggle over one year postpartum, but I was not a strong individual to start. So that would be a consideration for someone estimating healing time. Nourishment during pregnancy impacts recovery greatly, and it really depends, too, on how depleted a woman is how long recovery will take.
That was a really great post.
Thank you for better insight into that!
