If you constantly feel like you’re not doing enough, falling behind, or getting it wrong as a mom, you’re not alone. This feeling doesn’t mean you’re failing, but it does mean something important is going on.

It can come out of nowhere; your heart starts racing, your chest tightens, and suddenly it feels like something is wrong. If you’ve experienced this after having a baby, you’re not alone, and there’s a reason it feels so intense.

Approximately 20% of women will experience a postpartum mood disorder. Many women report feeling a fit of uncontrollable anger in their fourth trimester…veins bulging, heart-pounding, voice screeching. Postpartum rage is real!

Your baby is finally asleep, but your mind won’t stop. If you feel anxious, alert, or unable to relax even when everything is quiet, you’re not alone, and there’s a reason this happens.

You love your kids, but some days, every touch feels like too much. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or “touched out,” you’re not alone, and there’s a reason this happens.

These thoughts feel scary, but they’re more common than you think.

If you feel like you’re worried all the time, can’t relax, or something bad is about to happen—even when everything seems fine—you’re not alone. This might be postpartum anxiety, and there’s a reason it feels this way.
