Show Notes
After talking about mental health before birth, we’re now unpacking what can happen after the baby arrives.
Postnatal depression.
Postnatal anxiety.
Rage.
Intrusive thoughts.
Feeling disconnected.
Feeling like you should be happier.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr Nicole to talk honestly about:
• Why postnatal depression doesn’t always look like sadness
• The anxiety no one prepares you for
• When baby blues cross into something more
• And where to seek support
Motherhood can be beautiful…and brutally overwhelming.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I not coping the way I thought I would?”
This conversation is for you 🤍
