Finding Your Balance in Pregnancy and Postpartum, So You Can Feel More Confident as a Mom

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just not like yourself since becoming a mom? It’s a huge life shift! Overnight you're running on little sleep, second-guessing yourself constantly, and there’s no manual for how to handle it all.

Add in the information overload of the internet, social media scrolling, and other people’s advice, and you might find yourself in a spiral going nowhere helpful.

You’ve probably heard of postpartum depression or anxiety, but there’s a lot more that can come up during this time. It’s not always depression, or one thing, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. Maybe you are here because:

— Your birth didn’t go as you hoped—and you’re still feeling upset, even envious of friends who had the experience you wanted.

— You thought you’d feel that instant bond with your baby, but it hasn’t happened yet and now you’re wondering if something’s wrong.

— You have scary/intrusive thoughts about something bad happening to you or your baby. You might feel afraid to be alone with your baby.

— You catch yourself reacting in the same ways you watched your own mom struggle— but you never saw her get support.

— You feel isolated and like you’re the only mom struggling this much.
