While joy and excitement may be part of the experience of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, this chapter can also bring up unexpected emotional adjustment challenges. Join us for an informative workshop and discussion exploring how to feel more emotionally prepared for pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. In this workshop, we will discuss: • A general overview of normal and common emotional adjustment experiences during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period • Understanding risk factors for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) • Understanding key differences between the “baby blues,” postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum psychosis • Ways to build psychological flexibility and resilience in approaching and navigating vulnerability and uncertainty during these important chapters • Additional ways to cope and how to find support • Time for Q&A
