What if postpartum depression and anxiety weren’t just something we reacted to — but something we could actually prevent?

Dr. Jill opens up about her own postpartum anxiety, busts the myth that needing help means you’ve failed, and gives partners practical ways to actually help (no, it’s not just “holding the baby”).Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or supporting someone who is, this is your crash course in protecting your mental health — and the kind of conversation you’ll want to share with every mom friend you know.Links & Resources:Get The Motherhood Survival Manual: motherhoodsurvivalmanual.comMotherhood Survival Manual: Your Prenatal Guide to Prevent Postpartum Depression and Anxiety: Zechowy MD, MS, Jill: 9798990611610: Amazon.com: BooksJill Zechowy, MD + Perinatal Mental Health (@motherhood_survival_manual) • Instagram photos and videosLearn more about Dr. Jill’s work: womensmentalhealthmd.comFollow Previa Alliance!Previa Alliance (@previaalliance_) • Instagram photos and videosKeep the questions coming by sending them to [email protected] or DM us on Instagram!
