What is Postpartum OCD?

Postpartum OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts and repetitive actions or mental rituals performed to reduce anxiety. Theese thoughts often revolve around your baby’s safety, your ability to parent or other fears. This might look like:

  • Recurring, distressing thoughts that feel impossible to ignore

  • Compulsions like excessive cleaning, checking, counting or mental reassurance.

  • Avoidance of certain situations out of fear that something bad might happen, like walking on the sidewalk or down the stairs.

  • Intense guilt or shame about your thoughts or behaviors.
