Understanding Perinatal Anxiety: You Are Not Alone

While postpartum depression gets more attention, perinatal anxiety is just as common—and just as real. If you're constantly worried, restless, or tense, you're not alone.

• What is perinatal anxiety?
  It's persistent worry, fear, or dread during pregnancy or postpartum, sometimes accompanied by physical symptoms like heart palpitations or insomnia.

• Common signs:

  • Racing thoughts

  • Fear that something bad will happen to your baby

  • Trouble sleeping even when your baby is sleeping

  • Difficulty concentrating

• Why it happens:
  Hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, past trauma, and the enormous pressure of new parenthood can all be contributors.

• How therapy can help:
  A supportive space to explore fears, learn calming techniques, and reframe anxious thoughts can be life-changing.

Conclusion:
You deserve to feel grounded and supported. Therapy can help restore your sense of calm and confidence.
