-- Mission Connection has published a new guide on anger after childbirth, geared towards new or expectant mothers who are struggling with emotional regulation.

Irritability and anger during and after pregnancy are more common than postpartum depression, with research suggesting that roughly 25% of pregnant individuals experience at least mild anger as a symptom. Mission Connection’s guide says that this is due to numerous physical and physiological changes that occur in a pregnant body: fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone, which regulate moods and relax muscles and joints, respectively, can cause fatigue, exacerbating normal anger, anxiety, or existing mental health conditions. Moreover, the body is under immense amounts of physical stress while it carries a growing baby, leading to morning sickness and other sources of discomfort that can make an individual more irritable.
For typical pregnancy or postpartum anger, the guide says that healthy habits can help an individual better regulate their emotions. Eating a healthy, balanced diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining good sleep hygiene will improve physical wellness, which in turn will contribute to mental wellness. Mindfulness exercises can also reduce stress that may develop into anger, but if these methods fail, Mission Connection encourages the individual to let their loved ones know that they are struggling.
However, Mission Connection’s guide also notes that persistent anger, irritability, or mood swings during or after pregnancy may be an indication of a perinatal mental health condition. Affecting one in five women, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are characterized by overwhelming feelings of sadness, hopelessness, irritability, or anxiety; a loss of interest in hobbies; cognitive dysfunction; sleep issues; abnormal changes in appetite; or thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or harming the baby, among other symptoms. The guide adds that any pregnant woman who experiences the aforementioned symptoms should speak to their healthcare provider to determine whether what they are experiencing is a normal part of pregnancy or whether they require professional care.
