During your second or third trimester, you may notice brown spots or patches on your skin, called melasma. This is a common reaction your skin has to the extra estrogen in your body during pregnancy, and it will most likely fade after birth. The best treatment while pregnant is to avoid direct sun exposure and to use pregnancy-safe sunscreen, while eating healthy foods and taking prenatal vitamins.

Learn more about pregnancy symptoms and how to deal with them in our IMPACT parenting education program.

Chances are, you may experience a few days to a few weeks of โ€œbaby blues,โ€ or feeling sad or moody, after having a baby. Youโ€™ve gone through a lot, so itโ€™s completely understandable! Sleep, healthy food, exercise, and support from friends and family can all help to ease these symptoms.

Another 10% of mothers may develop postpartum depression, a more severe form of depression which can be dangerous to you and the baby. Itโ€™s important to recognize the signs so you can get help. These can include feelings of hopelessness, disinterest, and thoughts of harm. Call your doctor or therapist right away if you think you have postpartum depression.

To learn more about baby blues and how to care for yourself and your newborn baby, give us a call! We can offer support and education throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
