JSG COUNSELING

Pregnancy and the birth of a new baby can bring many feelings, emotions, and experiences for women (and their spouses/partners). Many of these are welcomed, joyful, and exciting—having a baby can be one of the happiest and most fulfilling times of our lives!

​

Unfortunately however, many expecting and new mothers struggle silently—they doubt themselves, are unhappy or ashamed of the negative feelings they experience, or wrestle with devastating grief due to a miscarriage, a stillborn birth, or the loss of a baby.

​

During pregnancy, some women become anxious and depressed. Morning sickness, changes in hormones, and concerns about the baby or the labor and delivery process may drain energy and cause emotional upheaval. After the arrival of the baby, women may struggle with “baby blues,” postnatal depression, or problematic anxiety. Due to extreme fatigue and unmet expectations, women and their spouses/partners may have difficulty adapting to their new roles and responsibilities, may experience communication challenges, or grow apart due to unmet expectations.

​

You do not have to walk this path alone!
