If your anxiety seems out of control, has you on edge most of the time, or keeps you up at night, you may have more than the new-parent jitters." "You can certainly have PPD and postpartum anxiety at the same time, but you may also have one without the other." "The baby blues are common, but they usually only last a couple weeks. If you’re dealing with longer-term, severe worry and symptoms that are getting in the way of life with baby, tell your doctor."
