Postpartum anxiety often shows up as racing, worst-case-scenario thoughts about your baby's safety, constant checking, or a body that will not settle even when everything is objectively fine. It is easy to mistake for just being a vigilant new parent, but if the worry is running your days and stealing your sleep, it is worth naming as more than that.
Therapy for postpartum anxiety focuses on calming an overactive nervous system, working through the specific fears keeping you on edge, and rebuilding trust in your own judgment as a parent. You do not have to wait until it feels unbearable to bring it up. Support early on tends to make the adjustment to parenthood considerably easier.
