What does mental health look like after having a baby?
About this episode
Have you asked yourself how you are doing today? Have your doctor asked about your mental health during your baby check-ups? How do you know if your mood is being affected by the pregnancy/postpartum hormone changes, or if what you're feeling are symptoms of depression or anxiety? Can dads have postpartum depression? How does self-care look like as a new parent? Join us as we chat about mental health and self-care during pregnancy and as a new parent, how to identify the signs that something is not going well, and the importance of having a "game plan" for challenging parenting situations, so you can keep your cool in moments of crisis.
