Welcome to my Anonymom series. Real moms talking about their deepest and darkest moments – anonymously. Anonymom episodes may consist of difficult topics including miscarriage, infertility, separation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other potentially triggering issues. Names have been changed to protect the identity of the mom.
This episode features Courtney, mom of two who experienced difficulty conceiving and a high risk pregnancy with her first child.
She also talks to us about..
– her persistent anxiety that includes harm intrusive thoughts about her baby/family
– difficulty with paternal postpartum depression
– her issues with a difficult childhood and how these struggles have resurfaced for her as a mom
