As many as 33% of women noticed their first OCD symptoms during pregnancy or postpartum. This doesn't just mean, symptoms of hand washing 10 times in a row like many movies or tv shows portray (obsessive compulsive disorder) OCD. This could mean scary or intrusive thoughts that are hard for the mother to shake off. These thoughts can be very distressing, and don't equate to any intention on carrying out the thought. Often just trying to get rid of the thought is so difficult, the stress from this can lead to clinical depression. Seek out medical treatment if this sounds familiar.
