Did you know that 1 in 5 people experience anxiety during or after pregnancy? Yet, despite how common it is, we still lack a standardized screening tool to assess perinatal anxiety. Recognizing what postpartum anxiety can look like is crucial in helping new parents feel supported and empowered to seek help.
After birth, the combination of physiological changes and new routines with a baby can amplify anxiety, making it more overwhelming. If you’re struggling with postpartum anxiety, know that you’re not alone, and reaching out for support can make a difference.
