Previa Playback: What is Postpartum Rage?
6/8/202615 min
The fourth episode we cover during Maternal Mental health month is a topic that is often felt but not talked about, postpartum rage. Postpartum rage is a mood disruption that causes intense anger, aggression, and agitation in the weeks and months after giving birth. At Previa Alliance, one of the most frequent questions we get is, “Why do I feel so angry?” Today, the ladies break down what postpartum rage is, why new moms experience it, and what you can do to manage it. We hope this conversation leads to more education and less shame and judgment.
