Postpartum has a mental health chapter too. And it's allowed to be part of your story.
Maybe it looks like feeling overwhelmed by something that used to feel simple. Disconnected from a body you don't recognize yet. Weepy for no reason you can name.
This is a chapter. Not the whole story. But if it's not lifting, or it's making it hard to function, bond, or feel like yourself, that's worth talking about. Postpartum depression and anxiety are common, treatable, and nothing to carry alone. Your OB, midwife, or a postpartum-focused therapist can help, and the PSI Helpline (1-800-944-4773) is available 24/7.
💾 Save this for the days it helps to remember you're not alone in it, and share it with a mom who needs the reminder.
