I spent a while last night researching postpartum stuff. General experiences, potential complications, etc. I'd already been thinking that vash would get postpartum depression bc he was Already largely depressed, and apparently that is indeed a possible contributing factor! Prior history of depression in you or your relatives. There's also being a single parent & general lack of support that contributes. And it's like. Damn he's gonna be roughin it.

Tho apparently doctors will generally screen for this at postpartum checkups, when they're checking on the health of the baby + parent. Asking questions and mood and such. So they'd likely catch his depression at like the 2 week mark or something. Possibly put him on antidepressants. Which could help him, but it'd take time, & he's not gonna be truly getting better until his situation gets better. But like. It'll help, maybe. At least a little bit.

Good for him tho it'll be probably a bit after this point where he ends up befriending the girls. And everything will get better from there.

#speculation nation #dad vash au #pregnancy ment/#funny that ive done the postpartum research before ive done the actual pregnancy research #but i was wondering how things would be for him after giving birth. since he's self isolated and doesnt have a support system at this point.#it'd be Possible. but very hard. bc besides emotional troubles theres also a variety of physical troubles.#the hospital would keep him until hes able to walk at least. but he'd still be in pain. itd take a while to fully recover #bleeding and swelling and aches and what have you. hormone shit. AND tending to a new baby alone.#it sounds like a fucking nightmare. i do not envy him 😭😭😭😭#im probably going to mostly gloss over this time. bc i think itd kinda just. be a drag to read hfkshfms #im going to Acknowledge it at least. maybe focus in on a scene or so. but not too in depth.#he'll be roughin it but he'll survive and then he'll meet the girls and everything will get better.#not overnight. but still. itll get better.#anyways next up! i research pregnancy shit. which is whats actually useful for this first chapter lol #am i putting too much effort into researching this? maybe. but i just wanna make it as realistic as i can.#even if i'll be mostly glossing over a lot of the rougher shit. i still want to know what hes going through. it's important.
