Pregnancy & new parents

OCD can start or get louder in pregnancy. What it can look like, what the research says, and where to find support for you or your partner.

Early parenthood is a lot. Your sleep is in pieces, there's a muslin in every room of the house, and then out of nowhere your brain shows you something about your baby that makes your stomach drop. If that's happened to you, and you've been too frightened to tell anyone, I really want you to know that you're far from the only one, and that there's a name for what can happen next.
