Daily stresses.

Teri is a new mother so she has new responsibilities and new stresses added into her daily life/routine which is already busy and stressful. This is very common and very similar for many women, once a baby comes along a lot more work and stress is created and it's about trying to balance everything and deal with these stresses.
