https://utetcmirepwdxbtrcczv.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/video-posters/1241797293.webp High-achieving women (executives, physicians, attorneys) didn't get successful by asking for help and expect to figure out motherhood the same way; the perfectionism that made them successful makes motherhood feel like failure, and the skills that got them here won't get them through this.

alive; that hypervigilance is why mothers and babies have survived, but it can overshoot and see danger where there isn't any, which is when anxiety starts to affect functioning.

https://utetcmirepwdxbtrcczv.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/video-posters/1241797949.webp Bonding isn't instant for everyone: it grows when the nervous system feels safe, so exhaustion and survival mode can delay it, and like falling in love with a partner, connection can take months and often grows as sleep, support and mental health improve.

before your body, nervous system and identity have recovered (separating from your baby, new logistics, expectations that don't account for how you've changed), so feeling overwhelmed isn't weakness or ingratitude, and the idea that 12 weeks off is plenty isn't based on science or psychology. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1241797073 49 2025-12-31T01:48:05.000Z yes 2026-10-31T19:00:12.419Z weekly

relationship. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1241794163 67 2026-03-27T00:26:22.000Z yes 2026-10-31T19:00:12.767Z weekly 0.8

https://utetcmirepwdxbtrcczv.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/video-posters/1241797723.webp Dr. Jana's number one tip for pregnant clients is to find community, because postpartum struggles come from isolation, exhaustion and silence: write down who you can text when you're spiraling, who can come over without you hosting, who will normalize that it's hard, and who knows your warning signs, and share it now. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1241797723 57 2025-12-22T01:07:32.000Z yes 2026-10-31T19:00:10.322Z weekly 0.8

https://utetcmirepwdxbtrcczv.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/video-posters/1241798311.webp The three things Dr. Jana hears most from moms with postpartum depression: not being able to sleep when given the chance (checking the monitor, waking in a panic), rage at a partner that isn't their norm, and emotional numbness or emptiness, none of which match the teary picture a screening form suggests. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1241798311 84 2025-10-20T01:08:09.000Z yes 2026-10-31T20:24:13.483Z weekly 0.8

https://utetcmirepwdxbtrcczv.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/video-posters/1241797476.webp Intrusive thoughts are a glitch in the brain's alarm system, not a reflection of your values, desires or intentions; OCD targets what you love most, having a thought isn't wanting, planning or being capable of it, and more reassurance keeps you in the loop.

Postpartum anxiety and postpartum OCD can look similar on the surface https://utetcmirepwdxbtrcczv.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/video-posters/1241797258.webp Both involve scary thoughts about the baby, but postpartum anxiety worries about real-life dangers while postpartum OCD brings unwanted, out-of-character intrusive thoughts plus compulsions to neutralize them, and those compulsions can be mental (reassurance seeking, checking, rumination); the two are treated differently. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1241797258 102 2026-03-16T01:00:44.000Z yes

https://utetcmirepwdxbtrcczv.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/video-posters/1241798323.webp Postpartum anxiety looks like checking that the baby's chest is rising, Googling every rash at 2 a.m., a racing heart when the baby finally sleeps, and what-if scenarios that never happen; it's a nervous system on overdrive, not just being a worried mom.

baby? https://utetcmirepwdxbtrcczv.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/video-posters/1241797156.webp Postpartum OCD rarely looks like checking the locks; it looks like re-checking the baby's breathing a minute after you checked, avoiding the stairs after a 'what if I drop the baby' thought, replaying tiny moments, Googling for reassurance and being terrified of your own thoughts, and trying to think your way out makes the fear louder. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1241797156 65 2026-03-09T01:02:21.000Z yes 2026-10-31T19:00:12.027Z weekly 0.8

secondary emotion that shows up when exhaustion, resentment, grief and being responsible for everything have nowhere else to go, so it points to needing more rest, support and a fairer split of responsibility. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1241787718 83 2026-08-11T01:56:32.000Z yes 2026-10-31T19:00:11.105Z weekly 0.8 https://www.bloompsychologynorthaustin.com/blog/parent-child-relationships
