Hi Emily Elizabeth!
I'm so glad the TMS worked. And of course congratulations on the upcoming nuptials. :)
It probably isn't enormously helpful for me to give my experience, since everyone's biology is so different. But FWIW, pregnancy was a pretty good time for me in terms of both depression and anxiety. Especially once the baby started moving. I found I could soothe all my fears by feeling the baby move.
Breastfeeding was another issue entirely. I enjoyed doing it and did it well. I'm glad I had that experience. But I'm not altogether sure the benefits outweighed the disadvantages of a depressed postpartum mom.
I was completely med free during my pregnancy and nursing. My OCD required that.
