Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

Not just the baby blues…

Of course, you’re exhausted! Who wouldn’t be? Being a new mommy is stressful!

But deep inside, you know that this is bigger than that. You haven’t showered in days. You’ve been ignoring calls and texts. You lash out at your partner.

The cries of your newborn wrench you from the sleep you do get, and you just want to scream or burst into tears yourself.

Not just frustration…

Something isn’t right. Motherhood was supposed to be joyous. Intimate. Overflowing with love.

Yet, sometimes, you have horrible thoughts that you don’t dare say out loud.

Where’s my joy? What is wrong with me?

Where’s that bond between you? You’re just not feeling it.

You don’t want to feel this way.

You want to reach out for help – but fear you’ve done something wrong.

The guilt and shame of feeling that you’re failing as a mother are overwhelming.

You haven’t done anything wrong – and you’re not alone!

Postpartum depression and anxiety can happen to anyone – and it’s far more common than you might think.

Studies show that 70-80% of women experience mild “baby blues” after giving birth. And 10-20% of women will experience more severe depression and anxiety.
