Pregnancy and the related milestones are so celebrated around you that it’s hard for you to talk to anyone about the emotional pain you are in. Maybe past experiences have made this season terrifying. You felt excitement at those first kicks, but now you worry when they change. You researched and planned endlessly yet fear follows you most of the day. If you’ve delivered, when your baby arrived, you expected joy but felt guilt as anxiety crept in. Fits of rage took over. Sleepless nights and constant demands left you overwhelmed, even jealous of others’ rest. Some moments you feel connected to your child, but mostly you feel lost.
