Oh! @Shaz51 ,
Didn't get to answer your question earlier re: BPD and pregnancy.
Each pregnancy is more stress. More children = more stress.
More stress on an already emotionally-disregulated brain + hormonal changes probably means things do tend to get worse.
This is my thinking. I have not looked into the research.
