Bloomington, Ind. — Centerstone, a not-for-profit health system specializing in mental health and substance use disorder treatments, is offering Baby Bumps, a no-cost virtual support group for pregnant women.

Why you should participate: Most new mothers – up to 80% - experience the “baby blues” within a few days of childbirth. This can include: weeping for no reason, feeling overwhelmed, irritable, or exhausted. This can last a few days to a few weeks. However, some mothers, about 10-15%, have a more difficult time with more intense and longer-lasting concerns. These moms may feel like they cannot take care of their baby in the right way, have difficulty caring for themselves, or feel like a burden to others. Symptoms could include sleep problems, changes in eating, avoiding others, difficulty making decisions, anxiety or fears about the baby, etc.
