PREGNANCY REALNESS- I'M STRUGGLING- ANXIETY & FEARS

PREGNANCY REALNESS- I'M STRUGGLING- ANXIETY & FEARS

When I began documenting my pregnancy journey I never imagined I would be sharing these types of videos. I imagined things to be all butterflies, rainbows and pure bliss. Unfortunately it hasn't felt that way for me 100% of the time, and I know I'm not alone.

Talking about, and sharing mental health struggles isn't easy for people to do. It's scary as heck to share these parts of ourselves. However, I know that in doing so, we can work towards ending these stigmas towards mental health so that people aren't struggling in silence

I want other pregnant and postpartum women to know they aren't alone. Pre-pandemic, 1 in 7 women experienced perinatal depression and/or anxiety. Since the pandemic, rates have more than doubled. We need to talk about this.

Thanks for clicking and watching.
