I worked with a mom who had fear of breast cancer after 5 of her 6
births. Her mother had died of some kind of cancer after her first
baby and she just couldn't get it out of her head. It was via a
Helpline and she would call me all the time. After many, many
calls I figured it out and referred her to a mental health
professional. She was treated for postpartum depression and
anxiety disorder. It would reoccur with each birth, but at least
she realized what it was after the first 2 times and sought
treatment right away. I still hear from here occasionally and the
youngest is around 3 or 4 now.
