Postpartum Anxiety Therapy
In Charlotte, NC
Every pregnant woman and mom worries - but if anxiety begins to overwhelm you, it’s important to seek help and learn how to control it. Anxiety is not only part of pregnancy and motherhood; it’s part of being human! Everyone worries about their lives, and pregnancy and postpartum can often amplify those worries.
Some women are mostly worried about whether their babies are healthy (previous pregnancy losses or fertility problems can make this an especially overriding concern). Others might worry about whether they’ll be good parents, how their relationships with their partners will change, how siblings will react to a new baby, or the financial aspects of having a child. Even if you worry about all these things, that’s normal too.
But there’s a difference between normal worrying and all-consuming anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum. Please schedule an appointment with us if your experiencing any of the symptoms below:
