SYMPTOMS OF
POSTPARTUM ANXIETY
While it is normal to have anxiety after birth or during pregnancy, sometimes you need a little extra help adjusting
to motherhood.
Here are some signs your postpartum anxiety may need professional help:
Racing Thoughts
Mood Swings
Worrying About Too Many Things
Difficulty Controlling The Worry
Fatigue and Sleep Problems
Anxiety is common during or after pregnancy, in fact postpartum anxiety is even more common than postpartum depression! This is the body’s way of helping you stay alert, or in “survival mode.” Your anxiety keeps you ready for whatever the future might bring for you and your infant.
Some of this anxiety is actually quite helpful! For example, if we didn’t experience some concern or worry when our baby seems ill, we may not go to see the doctor when needed. In that way, anxiety helps keep your baby safe.
Sometimes a mom’s anxiety gets out of control. Therapists (like us!) call this perinatal anxiety, which describes anxiety symptoms that happen during or after pregnancy. Just like perinatal and postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety falls under the umbrella of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, or PMADs.
