💙 Baby Blues vs PPD vs PPA: Know the Difference 💙

Not every mood change after birth is the same:

🔹 Baby Blues: Mild mood swings, tears, irritability; usually resolves within 2 weeks.
🔹 Postpartum Depression (PPD): Persistent sadness, hopelessness, low energy, loss of interest; can last months without treatment.
🔹 Postpartum Anxiety (PPA): Intense worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks; can interfere with daily life.

Recognizing the signs early is key to recovery. Mental Illness Awareness Week is the perfect time to learn, reach out, and support each other.

*️⃣ Perinatal mental health disorders also include OCD, Bipolar Mood Disorders, PTSD, and Psychosis. *️⃣

🌿 Team Introductions at Grace Midwifery 🌿

As we continue our series introducing the heart of Grace Midwifery—our team—we’re excited to highlight someone many of our families have already come to know and love.

✨ Meet Denyse Phelps: Phase III Student Midwife & Birth Assistant

Denyse is in the final phase of her midwifery training and has been a steady, compassionate presence at births and prenatal visits alike. As a Phase III Student Midwife, she is deeply involved in hands-on care, bringing both clinical skill and heartfelt support to every client encounter.

She also serves as one of our trusted Birth Assistants, providing calm, capable support during labor and delivery. Her dedication to learning, attention to detail, and deep respect for the birth process shine through in everything she does.

Clients often describe Denyse as grounding, gentle, and attentive—and we couldn’t agree more. It’s been a joy to watch her grow into a skilled and thoughtful future midwife, and we’re honored to be part of her journey.

We’re so grateful for Denyse and the wisdom, warmth, and presence she brings to Grace Midwifery. 💛

Stay tuned as we continue sharing the stories of the women who make our practice what it is—a place of safety, support, and sacred care.
