@leokatiecbt: You're feeding your baby, carrying them downstairs or heading out for a walk, and an unwanted "what if" suddenly interrupts the moment. Intrusive thoughts can happen to new parents and do not automatically mean you have OCD. If they become persistent, distressing or lead to repeated checking and avoidance, you can speak with a professional who understands perinatal mental health. #IntrusiveThoughts #MaternalMentalHealth #PostpartumMentalHealth #PerinatalOCD #MentalHealth
