5 Questions to Ask at Your Next GYN Visit!
1. "Are my screenings up to date?"
Ask about Pap smears, HPV tests, breast exams, and STI screenings based on your age and risk.

2. “What birth control options are available for my needs?”
Your needs may change over time. Talk through hormonal vs. non-hormonal options, side effects, and goals.

3. "Can we talk about my menstrual cycle?"
Heavy, painful, or irregular periods aren’t always “normal.” Share any changes or symptoms—your cycle is a vital sign!

4. "Is what I’m experiencing with va**nal health normal?"
Don’t be afraid to ask about discharge, odor, dryness, or pain. Nothing is TMI with your GYN.

5. "What lifestyle changes could support my reproductive health?"
Diet, stress, exercise, and sleep all affect your GYN health. Get personalized tips based on your stage of life.

Come to your next appointment informed and ready.
Save this checklist + advocate for your body.

✨ Prevalence
Maternal mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, are common during pregnancy and the postpartum period. It’s estimated that around 10-15% of pregnant women and new mothers experience these conditions worldwide.

✨ Postpartum Depression (PPD)
Postpartum depression is a serious mood disorder that can develop after childbirth. It can affect a mother’s ability to care for herself and her baby. Symptoms may include sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, fatigue, changes in appetite, and feelings of worthlessness or guilt.

✨Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), are also common among pregnant women and new mothers. Anxiety symptoms may include excessive worry, restlessness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

✨ Risk Factors
Several factors can increase the risk of maternal mental health disorders, including a history of depression or anxiety, stressful life events, lack of social support, financial difficulties, and complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

By raising awareness about maternal mental health and improving access to support and resources, we can better support the well-being of mothers and families around the world.
