The Lindsay Clancy trial has been a lot to watch. But it's also opened up a conversation we don't have enough: what postpartum mental health actually looks like, because it's not the same for every mom.

Baby blues, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis all different, and they all deserve to be taken seriously. If something feels off after having a baby, you are not being dramatic or overreacting.

Swipe through for the signs to know, and please, don't wait for your 6-week checkup if something doesn't feel right 🤍

Summer heat can make menopause-related night sweats feel even more intense.

Right now, the best treatment available for night sweats is menopausal hormone therapy, which replaces hormones that naturally decline during menopause.

Whether or not menopausal hormone therapy is the right choice for you, there are still smaller lifestyle changes you can make to help you stay cooler and sleep better!
