Pregnancy and childbirth are such awe-inspiring moments for women – moments that are filled with enormous emotional and physical changes as well as major life-altering adjustments and situations. Our society often just assumes that as a “natural” female process, new mothers and expectant mothers should simply have the “instincts” to navigate the highs and lows on her own. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.

While every situation is different, women often find themselves completely caught off guard by some of the new and developing emotions, physical changes, and feelings they develop after seeing that positive test result. Facing so many changes, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the process, or to feel lost or alone because it seems as though no one else truly understands what’s going on with your emotional and physical health before, during and after pregnancy.

Rest assured; you are not alone. We specialize in postpartum and prepartum therapy for women. Our professional therapists are here to help guide you through the process, sort out any unresolved feelings or issues, and work through the stressors together.

Prepartum and Postpartum Stress Therapists

During and after pregnancy, the changes a woman experiences can not only be a major stressor themselves, but they can also make dealing with past stressors all the more difficult. When an expectant or new mother is overwhelmed by so much change, it makes it nearly impossible to manage those older issues you thought you had under control.

In fact, pregnancy stressors can lead to all kinds of mental health issues such as:

  1. Financial anxiety over new bills and responsibilities

  2. Fear of inadequacy or insecurity over mothering abilities

  3. Mood swings from hormonal changes and imbalances

  4. Forgetfulness and “brain fog” or confusion

  5. Body image concerns and insecurities

  6. Irritability from a lack of restful sleep and/or uncomfortable physical changes

While the list goes on and on, having an understanding pre- and postpartum therapy coach can go a long way with helping women navigate the major changes. Know that you are not alone and that there are many options available to allow you to better manage and understand these new stressors occurring within your body. We are here to help!
