There are so many worries that come along in the postpartum period. You have a whole new human who you are now responsible for keeping fed and alive. There are so many new things to worry about! But how much worrying is normal, and when should you get some help?

The baby is here and something’s not quite right. The feelings are really different than what you expected. You may be feeling anxious all the time, or sad and tearful. People tell you that you have something called “the baby blues” and that sounds right, but it’s lasting a looooooong time. And this is all happening at a time when you are feeling tremendous pressure coming from a new little someone that you have been charged with keeping alive and fed.
