Talk to a lactation consultant

Postpartum depression

Many women feel the “baby blues” for a week or two after delivering a baby. Hormone changes may contribute to worry, sadness and fatigue. But if these feelings make it hard for you to care for yourself or your family, you may have postpartum depression (PPD). Medication, counseling and support groups can help. Explore behavioral health services at ProHealth Care.

Pelvic floor care

Pregnancy and childbirth may weaken or injure the muscles that hold in place your pelvic organs (including the bladder, uterus, vagina and bowels). Occasionally this can cause ongoing pain or feelings of heaviness in the pelvic area. Ask your doctor if you’d benefit from urogynecology services.

Infant loss support

If you experience a miscarriage or loss of a baby, bereavement support services can help you and your family grieve.
