This Maternal Mental Health Day, let’s talk about something many new moms experience: postpartum anxiety. Postpartum anxiety is often missed by doctors, partners, and even moms themselves, so it is important to know the signs. It is not just “feeling nervous” or “being a little stressed.” It can show up as racing thoughts, sleepless nights (even when the baby is sleeping), a constant feeling of dread, or being unable to stop checking if your baby is breathing. Here’s what’s important to know: postpartum anxiety is common, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. After going through a major life event like childbirth, sometimes your brain and body need help finding balance again. There are evidence-based treatments that help address postpartum anxiety for new moms. Therapy, nutrition, sleep support, even just having the space to be heard can make a real difference.
