Maternal Anxiety

Maternal anxiety refers to experiencing persistent worry, fear, or unease during pregnancy or shortly after childbirth. It is a common condition that can stem from concerns about the baby's health, delivery, or changing life circumstances. While some anxiety is natural, excessive or ongoing worry may affect a mother's well-being and her ability to care for herself and her baby. Recognizing and addressing maternal anxiety through support, therapy, or medical advice is important for the health of both mother and child, ensuring a more positive pregnancy and postpartum experience.
