💙 New Year, New Awareness 💙

As we step into January, it’s a powerful time to check in on how you’re really feeling after birth.
Not every postpartum mood change is the same, and knowing the difference can help you get the right support:

🔹 Baby Blues: Temporary mood swings, tearfulness, irritability; usually resolve within 2 weeks
🔹 Postpartum Depression (PPD): Persistent sadness, low energy, hopelessness, loss of interest; may last months without treatment
🔹 Postpartum Anxiety (PPA): Excessive worry, racing thoughts, panic; can interfere with daily life

✨ Early recognition leads to earlier support and recovery.

And remember, perinatal mental health conditions can also include OCD, Bipolar Mood Disorders, PTSD, and Psychosis.

💙 You are not alone, and help is available.

If you need support now:
🔷 Call or text the Postpartum Support International HelpLine at 800-944-4773 (no diagnosis needed)
🔷 Call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-852-6262
🔷 In a crisis, call or text 988
🔷 Download the Connect by PSI app
🔷 Visit Postpartum.net for programs and resources

✨ A new year can be the beginning of feeling better.

We're the people who put couples in a lab and studied what actually helps them stay connected. So when we say a 6 second kiss matters, it is not a guess. 😘
In decades of research with thousands of couples, we found that relationships thrive on small, everyday moments of connection. The Six Second Kiss is one of the simplest. It is just long enough to interrupt the rush of the day, shift your focus to your partner, and quietly add to your emotional “bank account.” Over time, those seconds help with fondness, admiration, and even stress levels.
As you think about what you want this new year to feel like between you and your partner, consider adding this research backed ritual to the mix. Twice a day is still under 90 seconds a week, and your relationship will feel it.
You can read more about it in our article, “The Six Second Kiss,” on the Gottman blog: https://bit.ly/3KbV6Ak
