E23 My Journey With Postpartum Anxiety: Unplanned C-Section, Postpartum Anxiety
In this episode, I share some of my struggle with postpartum anxiety. During my unplanned c-section, I was left feeling out of control, with no one explaining to me what was happening. I felt like a bystander, watching birth happen to me.
Afterwards, my anxiety was triggered when they took my daughter for her newborn screening tests. Again, no one explained to me what was happening or how long she would be gone for.
I hated to be separated from my daughter. I would feel like I was suffocating. I had panic attacks about returning to work. As someone who's never really had anxiety, all this was new for me. I didn't feel like myself.
In this episode, I share how my anxiety affected my life postpartum. I explain how therapy didn't work great for me, but I share what did.
