Shifts in mood while pregnant or after giving birth is common. In fact, 15 to 20% of women experience more significant symptoms of depression or anxiety. (Postpartum Support International website, 2018)
In addition to post-partum depression there are a number of other illnesses experienced by women. They include:
• Depression during pregnancy and postpartum
• Anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum
• Pregnancy or Postpartum (OCD)
• Postpartum Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
The joy of becoming a new parent or welcoming another child into your family can be an exciting time, with much of the focus being on the new baby. It’s also important to consider the importance of self-care during this time in your life.
