In this episode, I talk with "Jane", a mom of two and a nurse who experienced perinatal and postpartum OCD.  We talk about ..

- how her symptoms showed up both in the perinatal and in the postpartum period

- difficulties associated with OCD including a sense of urgency, how symptoms snowball and get worse, and the intolerance of uncertainty

- barriers, red flags, and frustrations about the maternal mental health/medical system
