Pregnancy After a Loss

Are you pregnant after a loss? 

A study in the British Journal of Psychiatry showed that the birth of healthy baby did not resolve the mental health problems, often depression and anxiety, that developed after a pregnancy loss.

You thought you would feel so excited to be pregnant again. You never dreamed that a pregnancy would include this constant anxiety, this constant thought of what if.

Every time you go to the bathroom, or the baby moves or does not move, every time something feels off there is is again. That fear, that anxiety.

It is normal to feel some anxiety after a pregnancy loss but when that anxiety is all consuming it is important to seek help. Anxiety can disrupt the ability to bond with your pregnancy and can have lasting effects on your child.

I can help.

Therapy can help you to feel more regulated, connect with your current pregnancy and learn to feel hopeful again amidst the fear. My approach is strengths based and I use a holistic approach that includes mind body work.
