"How I wish I'd had this book when I suffered from postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder! Pregnant and postpartum moms need to know that perinatal anxiety disorders are common and treatable, and that there's no need to continue suffering."
––Katherine Stone, editor of Postpartum Progress

What if my baby isn't healthy?
What if I can't handle the pain of labor?
What if I'm not a good mother?

If you have these thoughts, you're not alone. Anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum is much more common than many people know, and yet there are so few resources available to struggling new moms. If you're one of many women suffering from this treatable condition, The Pregnancy and Postpartum Anxiety Workbook offers powerful strategies grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you control your worry, panic, and anxiety.

Through a series of simple exercises and worksheets, you'll learn skills for relaxing yourself when you feel the most stressed. You'll also learn strategies that are proven-effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of anxious feelings many pregnant women and mothers of infants face. The book also includes a chapter that offers tips to help fathers understand and support their partners.

Many new parents feel anxious, and it's perfectly natural to have some fears during and after pregnancy. The problem is, anxiety can grow, disrupting your daily life and keeping you from enjoying being a parent. This effective workbook can help you keep your anxious thoughts at bay and get back to the positive thinking you've been missing.

Could be really usefull I just miss a little more range of focus

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2015

It is hard to judge a book that is meant to help people in such hard situations
What that book gave me is a tool to concentrate it. I think that the most important thing is that you are proactive to understand and solve the situation. So this book is a great tool.
A very important thing is that THERE ARE NOT MANY BOOKS out there that offer this content and homework at the same time.
I have done a lot of practical sessions too together with self work and I have to say that although it was a little too narrow subject for me , it has a lot of sense.
It is a start to work on Cognitive behavior therapy
But for me what it really work was to do the CBT with a therapist that gave me the tools to work. This book thu gave me the basis to understand what CBT was and if I wanted to try. I think that can be really good to start somewhere and to prepared yourself for the road of cure
I don't think I have the knowledge to criticize the weakness of the book but what I MISSED was the part that you work a little bit deeper on working on those negative thoughts. There are a lot of techniques and they are really helpful, but I couldn't really find them in this book.

Pros
- It is a really good introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- It is great that there are books like that as a resource for women that are in a very isolated and critical situation
- The information together with the exercices give us a great tool to work on ourself and the situation
- is well written and easy to understand
- easy to go straight to the part that really affect you

Cons
- Feels like when you found the part that is critic for you and start reading and working on it, suddenly there is no more information on that area and you may find yourself a little frustrated.
- Could be too general
- I miss some more deep analysis of the exercises

Even I criticize it a little bit, I think is great that this book is on the market and I would buy it again.

If you want to go deeper on this subject I found really interesting the book "The Feeling Good Handbook"
Basically what I like is that it goes deeper in the area of fighting your negative thoughts and the different techniques
like, semantic method, cost benefit analysis, examine the evidences, survey methods...all this sounds complicated but are methods that can really help but you need to understand them....that is what I have missed in this book

After having my first child I had some rough postpartum anxiety. Once I started seeing a therapist she told me to get this book. I think this book is amazing information for any woman going through postpartum! Very informative! Helped me remember that I’m not crazy, and have gone through a huge life/ body shift!

This was recommended by my therapist and it has helped a TON. I have been able to manage my intrusive thoughts postpartum and not feel anxious all day, every day. I worked through this on my own (obviously a therapist is also helpful but with how this book is written you can do a lot by yourself).

Not just for postpartum

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have been in and out of therapy for years with what I believed to be anxiety. Then I read this book. Not only do I realize that I don't actually have clinical anxiety, but also have super actionable strategies to combat the anxious thoughts. And even though it looks like a not fun textbook it actually reads first person.

Buy it and do the work!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have found this workbook extremely helpful throughout pregnancy and so far post partum. It has given me a lot of great tools to use to help overcome anxiety issues I’ve had since I was a teenager. I use this and see a cbt counselor, and it has made me feel like I am out of the crushing power of anxiety. I have to do the WORK, but I’d rather invest my time in it instead of feeling terrible all the time and wasting so many moments of my life because of how bad my anxiety has gotten. I wish I would have found this in previous pregnancies, and I recommend it to all mamas to be and new mamas.

A great tool for helping me get through the worst of it

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

This was literally a lifesaver for me. When a pinched nerve in labor left me with constant headaches immediately following delivery, postpartum anxiety set in big time. Try going to counseling when you're a stay at home mom with no options for childcare! This book helped me get through the worst of it. Yes, some of the exercises are ones you can find on the web or whatnot, but that was a small portion of the book. It was just reassuring to know that what I was experiencing was fairly common and there are others who have dealt with this. I was to the point where I was strongly considering trying meds for my anxiety but this book helped me through and I didn't end up going there. Instead of spending time in counseling I was able to spend some time in physical therapy to manage the pain and as the pain finally went away so did the anxiety. I'd recommend this book to anyone struggling after childbirth.

It was nice that this book focused on anxiety

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

After giving birth, I ordered this book after experiencing high levels of anxiety. It was nice that this book focused on anxiety, instead of depression, because I found that most books focused on postpartum depression and neglected postpartum anxiety.

This book helped me normalize what I was experiencing. I didn't use it much, but when I did I found it very helpful.

The content is CBT focused and the tools are similar to what you will find in "Mind Over Mood."
That being said, as a social work student, I was able to use this book to inform several papers. I hope it will be helpful when in my future practice.

Helpful for new the expecting mother

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book was recommended by my doctor for prenatal anxiety. The book is simply written with clear instructions. I found the activities easy to complete per the instructions.
The only downside to this book is that they ask recommended writing down the events on example worksheets and they don't come with some to work on. I would have loved to seen blank worksheets or a website mentioned to download them.
