Show Notes for Episode 73: What You Really Need to Know About Anxiety in Postpartum.
Welcome to another episode of New Mom Naturopath. I'm your host, Dr. Kailyn Galloway. Today, we're diving deep into a topic that affects many new moms but isn't talked about enough: postpartum anxiety.
In This Episode:
I talk about why anxiety in postpartum is so common and that if you experience a heightened amount of stress, that can be normal. I want you to understand why your body is experiencing anxiety for a multitude of reasons
- Changes in hormones in your body (rapidly!)
- Learning something new under a lot of pressure
- You are sleep-deprived like you have never been sleep-deprived before.
- Most commands in your life take the form of WaHH and Ahh.
- You have no self-autonomy as your life is run by a dictator that has left function than a sack of potatoes (because at least you can eat those).
You have every reason to be anxious as a new mom. You are learning at a rapid pace, and the steaks are high!
So when do you start to reach out for help?
Before you think you need it.
When you are unable to manage your life around it.
Treatment options:
Talk therapy or cognitive behavior therapy.
Herbal treatments for postpartum stress
Exercise and diet.
And yes, even pharmaceuticals.
You are going through a lot as a new mom. You have a lot of things going on around you. It is ok to take action to help you build the foundation of mental health for your family.
