Today we are unearthing all the things related to pregnancy that aren’t so peachy from infertility to postpartum depression to misscarriage and stillbirth. These are the gut wrenching experiences many have to face and may not know where or how to seek help.
Here are some stats.

Women with infertility can feel as anxious or depressed as those diagnosed with cancer.

Up to 20% of women experience prenatal or postpartum depression, and postpartum anxiety affects 20% of first-time moms.

10-15% of women experience depression during pregnancy, but it often goes untreated.

Half of women experience significant distress following a miscarriage.

Also, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and 1 in 160 babies are stillborn.

Today, I’m joined by Nneka Symister who is a psychotherapist and licensed social worker.
