Who are you?
Hi, my name is Amy Polly. I am a mindfulness teacher, a mental health speaker, and a neurodiversity advocate, and you can ask me questions about postnatal anxiety.
What is post natal anxiety?
Postnatal anxiety is excessive worrying or prolonged feelings of anxiety following childbirth or adoption.
What are the symptoms of post natal anxiety?
For me, my postnatal anxiety really manifested as a racing heart and a tight chest. I was really overly worried about a lot of things when it came to my baby, and it affected my ability to do normal everyday things like leaving the house and getting out and about with my baby.
