Pregnancy and birth can be a magical time for a family, but it can also be very tough and difficult to adjust to.
Adjusting to a new lifestyle, recovering from a traumatic birth and bonding with your baby can be difficult, so it’s important to look after your mental health at these times. If you do experience challenges with your mental health as a new parent, remember that you are not alone and there is a lot of support out there to help you.
If you are struggling with your mental health during pregnancy or think you might have postnatal depression, it’s important to get help as soon as possible.
