I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. I found out yesterday that there is something wrong with my unborn child. The anatomy scan revealed hydrops fetalis, a condition where excess fluid builds up in the foetus. It's a symptom of other problems that are quite serious. I have an appointment with doctors in a couple days, but until then I'm a mess. My husband and I agree we aren't giving up on the baby. We will do everything medically we can to give the child the best chance possible.
But I'm a mess. I had PND with my first child, and I think I'm slipping into depression again. I'm not sure how to cope.

In sorry you are going through this. Don't be afraid to reach out to your GP and tell them your feers, regarding depression.
But it's normal to be a mess at this time. When my son as a toddler received a medical diagnosis I cried for weeks and then went into a fog, It's part of the process but as you have a history of depression definitely talk to your GP sooner rather than later as they will need to keep a close eye on you.
