Post partum anxiety

I was just wondering if anyone else has been suffering with post partum anxiety. I didn’t even realise it was happening but it seems to be health related to my little boy - mostly at night and it’s keeping me up worrying that something is going to go wrong. Does anyone have the owlet sock or the Sense-U sock and has it helped ease anything or does it just make you fixate more?

I have really bad post partum anxiety. My little one is 6 months old and we have been using the owlet since she was a few weeks old. For us it definitely helps me sleep more. It tracks her movement, temperature, heart rate and pulse ox. I wouldn’t be able to sleep without it. Sending love 💕

@Bridget I think I’m going to have to get one, the sleepless nights aren’t from him being awake it’s me not being able to stop watching him incase he’s in distress and I don’t get to him in time 🫣

I was exactly the same. I found meditating and reading a book made me eventually switch off enough to sleep. I didn't want to get an owlet or something similar as it would give me something else to obsess over. He is 8.5 months now and still in our room but we all get some sleep apart from the odd night when I can't settle x

I don’t have the sock but I was diagnosed with post partum anxiety very early on it got better until she had to start solids then it got 10x worse thinking she’d choke on anything now she’s almost 14 months and my anxiety is doing better 🥰🫶🏻
