Anxiety postpartum
Post Body

Two weeks post partum tomorrow and I will occasionally have moments of my heart beating a a little faster and feeling hot or restless, usually if I'm not holding baby, but today it happened randomly and I don't know why. It's what I can only describe as anxiety but it's not extreme and definitely was way worse in the first week and has calmed down a lot. It doesn't happen everyday but it is a little worrisome when it does. I had preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during labor that ended in a C-section which was a somewhat traumatic experience that I'm still trying to get over, but feel more able to talk about now.

Anyway just wondering if this is normal and for those that have anxiety postpartum how long it took you to get over or if you needed anxiety meds or something.

Thank you to sharing your experience, it always makes me feel better to talk to people who have been though it. I'll keep an eye on it for sure, hopefully it gets better with time, but I may talk to my doctor before my 6 week checkup to make sure.
