Pregnancy & Postpartum
- Have the transitions to motherhood been more difficult and challenging than you might have expected?
- Do you feel lost, sad, anxious, scared, tired that it’s affecting your daily life?
- Do you feel guilt and doubt your capabilities as a new mom?
- Feeling like you can’t tell family or friends?
Don’t worry you are NOT alone. About 15-20% of new mothers will experience unusual and intense feelings which is better known as Postpartum Depression.
For some mothers, this life transition is not always as easy as it’s presumed to be, nor does it come naturally. The new mom bliss is overshadowed by a tough mental health struggle. We often ignore the fact that this episode in a woman’s life can bring on many feelings, emotions and thoughts that were never expected.
