Postpartum Support: You are not alone

Tired infant baby cries in mother hands,

​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.

​

How Therapy Can Help
