You don’t have to face this alone
Sound familiar?
- You find yourself worrying about the baby and feeling like something terrible is going to happen
- You had a previous traumatic birth or loss and you aren’t able to enjoy your current pregnancy at all
- You feel so overwhelmed and like everything is about to fall apart at any second
- You have a hard time sleeping because you’re stressed out and your mind is racing
- You struggle to get through the day because you’re just so mentally or physically exhausted
- You notice that you feel agitated and are easily annoyed by your partner, other children, or the baby
Being pregnant, birth, stress in personal relationships, attending to the needs of your baby, and worries take a toll. All of a sudden, you don’t feel like yourself anymore. You feel like you’ve gone crazy. The worry is constant. All of your energy goes into taking care of your baby and making sure something terrible doesn’t happen. You’re used to being an overachiever and no matter what you do, you feel like you’re failing as a mother.
Or maybe you had a rough birthing experience or had a pregnancy loss and didn’t realize how much it impacted you until you were pregnant again. You’re terrified something is going to go wrong again, like wiping and seeing blood or your baby needing a NICU stay. Your family members or friends are confused or upset with you because you aren’t excited.
