​What You're Experiencing Is Valid

 

Motherhood doesn't always match the picture-perfect images we see. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or not like yourself after childbirth, there is support for you.

It's common for new mothers to feel:​

• Constant sadness or guilt

• Overwhelmed by daily tasks

• Disconnection from your baby or partner

• Persistent fatigue, even after rest

• Frequent crying without a clear reason

• Anxiety about your ability to care for your baby

​

These feelings can be signs of postpartum depression or anxiety, conditions that affect many mothers and are treatable with the right support.

​

Understanding Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

​​

About 1 in 5 women experience postpartum difficulties beyond "baby blues." 

​

• Postpartum Depression (PPD): Unlike the "baby blues," PPD lasts longer and can interfere with daily life. It involves deep sadness, irritability, and a lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed.

• Postpartum Anxiety: This includes constant worry, fear of something happening to your baby, intrusive thoughts, and physical symptoms like a racing heart or trouble breathing.

​

Recognizing these signs is the first step toward healing.
