Having a baby in 8 weeks! Scared and excited at the same time. Currently in an OCD episode but it’s starting to get better because I am cracking down on resisting mental compulsions. Any advice on being a new mom and managing OCD? It’s my first baby.

Yes have tried Freedom From OCD, currently working on the mindfulness workbook for OCD by Jon Hershfield, and just ordered how to overcome ocd by Ali greymond. Listen to the OCD stories almost every day, have read the Choice article and Dr Michael Greenburgs articles. Am also a therapist 😬 just struggle to apply these things to myself. Any other suggestions?

@Anonymous Wow, very impressed by your tenacity. I think with your extensive experience, It's just going to be a matter of 'fine tuning' these resources and adjusting them to fit your new lifestyle of being a mom. 👍 👌
