Yes, anxiety after having a baby is common. It can last a few weeks to several months. If it lasts longer or feels very intense, its good to talk to a doctor or therapist for support. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If youre in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry, were here to help you.
It is common to have anxiety after having a child. Everyone is different in
terms of how long their anxiety lasts. Talk with your primary care provider
about your symptoms and if they do not go away, medications may be helpful.
It varies depending on your situations. A new baby can be very stressful. And if your baby is very demanding, that is even more stressful. It would be best for you to consult with your pediatrician.
