Hypervigilance & Anxiety

Your results show that you may be experiencing heightened feelings of hypervigilance and anxiety.

Hypervigilance in early postpartum can feel like your body forgot how to turn off. Even in a quiet room, part of you is still scanning — is the baby breathing, was that a real cry, did I just hear something?

Sleep gets thin. Not just because the baby wakes you, but because something inside you fires AWAKE before you even register a sound.

A lot of mothers describe it as never being able to fully exhale.

There's also a strange split — you can be mid-conversation, folding laundry, even laughing, and some part of you is still running in the background. Checking. Listening.

It's the kind of tired that rest doesn't fix. Because your body hasn't gotten the memo that it's safe to stand down yet.

It is okay to be feeling this. There is nothing wrong with you.
