Postpartum Support
for Moms in Southlake Texas

The birth of a new baby can bring a whirlwind of emotions, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety. Your body is unfamiliar, your relationship with your partner is different, and you might be wondering if you will ever feel like your old-self again. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first or your fourth child, there is no way to adequately prepare for all the challenges of that first year.

“Baby Blues”

No one is immune to the challenges of bringing a baby into the home. You may feel like an overwhelmed mom with the new responsibilities that come with taking care of a baby. Exhaustion and sleepless nights can leave you feeling depleted and hopeless. Therefore, if you are experiencing mood swings, postpartum anxiety, crying spells, or difficulty sleeping, you may be experiencing the “baby blues”. This is a common experience among new moms. Baby blues typically begin within the first two to three days after delivery and may last up to two weeks. You don’t have to wait it out. There is no need to push through and wait for this challenging time to pass. Our postpartum counselors are available in-person and via online therapy and can help you adjust to life with a new baby with postpartum support in Southlake, TX.

Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety

Some new moms experience a more severe, long-lasting form of depression known as postpartum depression. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety can occur anytime within the first year after birth. Recent studies show that postpartum depression affects up to 15% of mothers. If you are experiencing extreme anxiety, this could be a sign of postpartum depression. New mothers with postpartum often feel overwhelmed moms and don’t want to be left alone to care for their baby or children. Your mind and body go through many changes during and after pregnancy. If you feel sad, emotionless, or empty most of the time or for longer than two weeks before or after pregnancy, it’s time to reach out for postpartum support in Southlake, TX.
