Look inside
Pages from the file you'll download, not a mock-up.
There is a kind of awake that postpartum anxiety produces that the rest of your life will not have prepared you for. You will be exhausted and unable to sleep. You will check the baby’s chest because you cannot remember if you checked it ten minutes ago. You will sit in the car after a normal appointment and feel like the floor has tilted.
This companion is the thing I wish I’d had for that.
What’s inside
Forty-four pages, undated:
- A daily noticing log. Five lines a day. Five minutes. No quiz. Just a record of what your body and mind did today, so a future provider can see the pattern.
- A “what’s a thought, what’s a worry” worksheet. The CBT-style noticing prompt that turns a swirling 3am into a paragraph that you can put down.
- A grounding-card library. Ten short cards, each a sixty-second move for the body. None of them require a quiet room.
- A “this is what’s normal at this week” reference, weeks one through fifty-two. So you can stop asking the internet.
- A “when to call” page. Specific signs that mean the conversation has to happen today, not next week.
- A page for the partner. What to watch for. What to say. What not to say. What to do when you’re worried about her and she is telling you it’s fine.
- An appointment prep page. So when the provider asks “how are you doing?” the answer is more than “fine.”
- A reset page, week six and week twelve. For the small re-orientations as the year goes on.

This is a tracking and noticing tool. It is not a diagnosis. It is not therapy. If you are in crisis, please call 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or the US Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-852-6262 (24/7, free, confidential). Postpartum anxiety is real, treatable, and not a character flaw. The companion will help you bring something specific to a real provider.
