EP 141 Breaking the Silence About Prenatal Depression

Postpartum University® Podcast

In a world where women are expected to be elated about pregnancy, prenatal depression is something that most women don’t even realize exists.

Today’s guest is on a mission to educate and inform, sharing her own experiences and practical guidance for how to overcome prenatal depression.

Laila is the the host of the Learning To Mom Podcast where she informs first time moms on pregnancy and birth without making them feel overwhelmed. After experiencing prenatal depression herself, she uses her story to educate and inspire women who may be struggling in pregnancy themselves.

In this episode, we’re sharing…

• Resources and strategies for moms who are feeling isolated or overwhelmed during pregnancy.
• The role of professional support (therapists, counselors, etc.) in the journey through prenatal depression.
• Specific factors that contribute to prenatal depression.
• What prenatal depression is and how to recognize it.

We’re here to shed light on the topics nobody is talking about in maternal health and today’s conversation is no exception. Give this episode a listen and head on over to Laila’s podcast, Learning to Mom, too. You’ll be glad you did!
