Navigating pregnancy can be a challenging journey, especially when mental health comes into the picture. The physical changes, hormonal shifts, and the anticipation of becoming a parent can quickly become overwhelming. It's not uncommon to feel anxious, irritable, or emotionally exhausted during this time. Pregnancy affects each person differently, but here are some common signs that you might be struggling with your mental health:

• Persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.

• Overwhelming worry about the health of your baby or your ability to be a good parent.

• Constantly checking your baby’s heart beat or movements.

• If you are pregnant after a loss, you find it overwhelming to navigate grief and hopefulness

• Difficulty bonding with your baby or feeling disconnected from the pregnancy.

• Experiencing frequent mood swings or crying spells.

• Physical symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, or changes in appetite that are more than typical pregnancy symptoms.

• Avoiding social interactions or feeling isolated and alone.

• Feeling a sense of panic or experiencing panic attacks.

The good news is that you don't have to navigate this journey alone. Therapy offers a supportive space to address your concerns and develop strategies to enhance your well-being.
