Mental Health
Just as you are planning your baby's arrival, you can also plan to look after yourself during your pregnancy.
It's normal to have some worries during pregnancy, but if you're concerned about how you're feeling, you can always talk to your midwife or doctor. They will point you in the right direction for all the support that you need, without judgment.
You can also share any concerns with your partner, friends or family. You may be anxious about your relationship, money, health, or how you'll cope when your baby is born. Whatever you're worried about, don't bottle it up – you are important and there is help available if you need it.
Last year local women came forward and recorded their stories of their pregnancy and postnatal journey, how their mental health changed and who they called upon for support. The films below give a glimpse into the life of these amazing women.
If you are experiencing mental health difficulties or need support speak to you GP, Midwife, Health Visitor or NHS 24.
