Managing Emotions During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is often pictured as a happy, glowing, carefree time. In real life it can be uncomfortable and surprising, and it can bring a lot of emotions, while the rest of life keeps happening too.

Write it down

Keeping a journal is a simple way to sort through worries and notice what's on your mind.

Looking things up can make anxiety worse. If you have a real question, save it for your doctor or midwife.

Find the right support

Choose an OB or midwife you feel comfortable with. Many therapists and counselors specialize in pregnancy, too.

Move in ways that feel good

Gentle yoga, walking, swimming, or meditation can all help. Stick with what's comfortable, and check with your provider before starting anything new.

If your mood feels hard to handle, talk with your doctor. You can also call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262), free and open 24/7.
