You’ve got this! : Maggert Photography Get access to our FREE birth class here: http://m.mother.ly/mqIlVFs

#Repost @lbreggy Raise your hand if you didn’t know postpartum anxiety was a thing? ... I can honestly say, before I became educated on this diagnosis, I had never heard of it before! And now, after having an amazing postpartum experience the 2nd go around.um yeah, I’m pretty sure I had this with my first! (at least to some degree!) Sure, you hear about postpartum depression in the media, and your healthcare team talks to you A LOT about it upon discharge.... But guess what? Postpartum anxiety sometimes gets thrown to the wayside. OR gets grouped together as a form of postpartum depression. It’s true, you CAN exhibit symptoms of both, but many women who have true postpartum anxiety pass their depression scales. This is a scary, lonely diagnosis, and I, for one, want to do something about screening for this MUCH earlier! The symptoms of anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum might include: Constant worry Feeling that something bad is going to happen Racing thoughts Disturbances of sleep and appetite Inability to sit still Physical symptoms like dizziness, hot flashes and nausea If this sounds like you, please reach out for help! Talk to a provider, your partner, a friend or other family member as a first step in your treatment process. Remember that often times this is the hardest step!repost @mommy.labornurse Have any of you dealt with PPA?

You are ENOUGH.

Having children can certainly bring plenty of joy and fulfillment. For some mothers, the process of having a baby and young children can also bring up past trau...ma and this can show up in unexpected ways. However, when we approach motherhood from a place of mindfulness and self-compassion, it becomes much easier to identify when trauma is triggered. #MaternalMentalHealth #MMHMatters #Motherhood #Pregnancy #Postpartum #Trauma #PTSD #Recovery #Depression #Anxiety #PMADs #1in5 #SupportMoms #SupportWomen #SpeakTheSecret #SavannahMoms #MMHCS #ListenToMoms See more
