This checklist is crafted with the intention of guiding you to recognize and address the ways in which you could use more support during this season. It’s a gentle reminder to prioritize your own well-being and to acknowledge that your needs are just as important as those around you.

This inventory is not a replacement for professional mental health support or support from your OBGYN/Midwife. Talking to a professional or a trusted person in your life is crucial if you feel you may be experiencing postpartum anxiety or depression. Remember, your well-being is a priority, and seeking the right support can make a significant difference. You can chat, email, or call an expert at Lifeline for support.
