Postpartum Depression Care for Busy, Growing Communities
Having a baby far from the friends and family who used to help is common in fast-growing areas, and limited support is a known risk factor.
With your permission, we keep your OB/GYN updated so the plan for your mood and the plan for your pregnancy or postpartum care fit together.
Depression and anxiety can begin during pregnancy or at any point in the year after birth, and they are health conditions that can be treated, not a verdict on you as a parent.
