The fourth episode we cover during Maternal Mental health month is a topic that is often felt but not talked about, postpartum rage. Postpartum rage is a mood disruption that causes intense anger, aggression, and agitation in the weeks and months after giving birth. At Previa Alliance, one of the most frequent questions we get is, “Why do I feel so angry?” Today, the ladies break down what postpartum rage is, why new moms experience it, and what you can do to manage it. We hope this conversation leads to more education and less shame and judgment. Follow Previa Alliance!

... not that moms don't need any more judgment, shame.

W

Whitney GayHost

0:53

Right.

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

0:53

But I think being what you feel like is an angry mom-

W

Whitney GayHost

0:59

Mm-hmm

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

0:59

... an out of control mom, um, a snapping mom.

W

Whitney GayHost

1:02

Mm-hmm.

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

1:04

That really can hit hard.

W

Whitney GayHost

1:07

It can, because then guilt usually follows.

W

1:25

S

And it usually, you tend to have that rage or anger before you feel it coming.

W

Whitney GayHost

1:33

Like, it just kinda is out.

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

1:34

And it felt like, so I've said this this before, with, um, second delivery, I was feeling this rage.

W

Whitney GayHost

1:44

Mm-hmm.

S

Sarah ParkhurstHost

1:45

And I could not control it.

W

Whitney GayHost

1:46

Yeah.
