Postpartum anxiety

Postpartum anxiety is an often-overlooked aspect of the postpartum experience. While much attention is given to postpartum depression, anxiety can be equally challenging, leaving new mothers feeling overwhelmed, fearful, and isolated.

Unlike the “baby blues,” which tend to fade within a couple of weeks, postpartum anxiety can persist, affecting daily life and the ability to bond with your baby. Symptoms may include constant worry, racing thoughts, restlessness, or physical symptoms like a rapid heartbeat or dizziness. These feelings can be confusing and even frightening, especially when paired with the pressure to appear joyful and in control.

It’s important to know that postpartum anxiety is not a sign of weakness or failure as a parent. The transition into motherhood is a profound life change, and it’s normal for your mental health to fluctuate. However, if you find that anxiety is interfering with your ability to enjoy this special time or manage daily tasks, seeking support is crucial.
