What This Can Look Like

Mom mental health is more than 'baby blues.' It can hit before, during, or after pregnancy. Here's what to watch for:

Sad or Empty

You feel down most days. You cry a lot, or you can't cry at all. Joy feels far away.

On Edge

Your mind races. You can't stop checking on the baby. Sleep, when it comes, doesn't feel like rest.

Scary Thoughts

Awful 'what if' thoughts pop up about the baby. You don't want them. They scare you. You'd never act on them.

Hard to Bond

You love your baby but don't feel close yet. You may feel numb or like you're going through the motions.

Body Stuff

Headaches, stomach aches, racing heart, can't sleep even when the baby sleeps. Your body feels off.

Feeling Like a Bad Mom

You think you're failing. You feel guilty all the time. The voice in your head is mean.

Sound Familiar?

Mom mental health shows up in real life like this:

While trying to conceive

Each negative test feels like a loss. You're tired of pretending you're fine. Other people's baby news hits hard.

During pregnancy

You thought you'd be glowing. Instead you're scared, sad, or numb. You feel guilty for not feeling happy.

In the first months postpartum

You haven't slept more than two hours in weeks. You cry in the shower. You smile for visitors then crash when they leave.
