Pregnancy Anxiety & Depression
Understanding Pregnancy Anxiety & Depression
Pregnancy is often pictured as a joyful time, but for many moms-to-be, it can bring intense worry, sadness, or emotional overwhelm. Pregnancy anxiety and depression can look different from postpartum experiences. While postpartum challenges often involve adjusting to life with a newborn, pregnancy anxiety and depression may include constant worry about the baby’s health, fears about labor and delivery, or doubts about your ability to parent even before the baby arrives.
You might notice:
Persistent worry or racing thoughts about your pregnancy or baby’s future
Mood changes, irritability, or tearfulness without an obvious cause
Feeling disconnected from your pregnancy or from yourself
Physical symptoms like restlessness, tension, fatigue, or sleep disturbances
Difficulty focusing on daily tasks or enjoying activities you once loved
While these experiences can feel isolating, therapy can provide guidance, coping strategies, and emotional support to help you navigate this unique chapter. Unlike postpartum therapy, which often focuses on bonding with your baby and adjusting to life after birth, pregnancy therapy emphasizes preparing for motherhood while managing stress, fear, and mood challenges during pregnancy.
With support, you can learn to manage worry, reconnect with yourself, and approach pregnancy with greater confidence and calm. The purpose is to create a healthier foundation for both you and your baby.
