05/15/2026

When you have a baby, it can be hard to tell the difference between โ€œnormalโ€ anxiety and anxiety that feels excessive, distressing, or obsessive-compulsive. Of course, worrying about a sick baby can make any parent feel anxious and desperate for reassurance and relief.

Learning how to navigate anxiety that feels pervasive and overwhelming is an important part of new parenthood. Without support and understanding, those fears can build quickly and begin to feel all-consuming.
