Postpartum and perinatal care, without leaving home

The months around a new baby can bring more than exhaustion. When low mood or constant worry take over, visits with Olga Eldridge, PMHNP-BC, happen by secure video from home, anywhere in Missouri.

What postpartum care involves

Depression and anxiety during pregnancy and after birth are common, and they are treatable. That can look like persistent sadness, intrusive worry, irritability, trouble bonding, or a mind that will not rest even when the baby finally does. Olga works first to understand what is happening, then pairs evidence-based medication options, when they fit, with practical coping strategies. This is not a failing, and you will not be judged for needing help.

Who it helps

Adults who are pregnant or in the months and early years after having a baby. Partners and family often notice the changes first, and it is always okay to reach out to ask how to help someone you love.

Your first telehealth visit

You complete a short intake through the secure patient portal first, then join a video visit from home, no packing up a newborn for a waiting room. Olga will ask how you have been feeling, how you are sleeping, and what has or has not helped, in English or Russian. Medication choices are discussed openly, including considerations for pregnancy and breastfeeding, so you can make an informed decision. You leave with a plan and a time to check back in.

Booking

Is it safe to take medication while breastfeeding?
Many options are compatible with breastfeeding. Choices are discussed openly, with the risks and benefits for you and your baby, so you can decide together.
How is this different from the baby blues?
Short-lived mood swings in the first couple of weeks are common. When low mood, anxiety, or trouble functioning last longer or feel heavier, an evaluation can clarify what is going on and what would help.
