072 Stressing less with OCD in pregnancy and postpartum | with Dr. Jenny Yip

Less is known or shared about it compared to postpartum anxiety or depression, and even many health care professionals tend to know little about it, miss spotting it, or are unfamiliar with how to treat it.

-What OCD is, and how it’s different from anxiety
-Common intrusive thoughts that moms experiencing OCD might have
-The difference between intrusive thoughts that tend to pop in pregnancy versus postpartum
