    • Loss of interest in usual activities
    • Feeling irritable or angry
    • Feelings of anxiety including faster heart and breathing rate, tightness in chest / “racing” thoughts
    • Feeling guilt and shame; feeling like a “bad” mother
    • Difficulty bonding with the baby
    • Fear of being alone with the baby; fear of harming oneself or the baby
    • Having “scary,” intrusive thoughts about harm coming to the baby (The repetitive, intrusive images and thoughts are very frightening and can feel like they come “out of the blue.” Research has shown that these images are anxious in nature, not delusional, and have very low risk of being acted upon. It is far more likely that the parent with this symptom takes steps to avoid triggers and avoid what they fear is potential harm to the baby.
    •   Possible disappointment in circumstances surrounding baby’s birth or birth Trauma may contribute to symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety.
