To all the new parents, let's talk about something that’s incredibly common but often unmentioned: your mental health.
The journey through pregnancy and new parenthood can be overwhelming. If you're feeling anxious, sad, or just not like yourself, please know you are not alone.
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) affect up to 1 in 5 new mothers. They are one of the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth, but the great news is they are temporary and treatable.
Healing can come from a combination of:
-Self-care (rest is key!)
-Social support from loved ones
-Talk therapy
-Medication, if needed
Your well-being is just as important as your baby's. Please don't hesitate to talk to us or your OB/GYN. We are here to support your whole family.
