[quote=Anonymous]My anxiety was bad during pregnancy but postpartum it amplified by about a million. The hellish cocktail of sleep deprivation, hormones, postpartum sweats, breastfeeding challenges and pain, new relationship dynamic with partner, pain and healing from birth and getting acclimatized to my new body and vagina, etc. was so, so hard. Pregnancy is the easy part, relatively speaking. OP if you’re struggling with anxiety now make sure you have a village to support you postpartum, including a psychiatrist and regular therapist along with family members to help you. Don’t go postpartum alone. I say this gently, but if you’re struggling now it will Be much much harder when the baby is here. The anxiety doesn’t disappear upon a safe delivery - that’s actually the start of the marathon. Pregnancy is the warm up.[/quote]
