Perinatal Support

The perinatal period is the period from conception through the first year after giving birth. This is a nuanced time of transition, that looks different for every person. Changes occur not only within the body but also in relationships, finances, employment, parenting, and other areas of life. There are so many assumptions and opinions about pregnancy, labor and delivery, motherhood, and parenting. Sarah is here to meet you where you are at, without judgment, and hold space for your unique experience.

Many times, when thinking about mental health in pregnancy the term “baby blues” or “postpartum depression” comes to mind. That is the right track but doesn’t capture the whole picture. There is actually a whole spectrum of conditions included in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs). These include depression, anxiety, panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and psychosis.

Thankfully, research has identified information about prevention, prevalence, risk factors, and effective treatment.

Here are some Facts:

Perinatal mental health symptoms and conditions are over three times more common (21%) than other complications, such as gestational diabetes (6%), preeclampsia (6-8%), and gestational hypertension (6-8%) (Wisner, et. Al., 2013).

Over 400,000 babies are born each year to mothers who are depressed, which makes perinatal depression the most underdiagnosed obstetric complication in America (Earls, 2010).

New fathers can also be impacted, with 1 in 10 men experiencing postpartum depression (ACOG, 2024).
