Mental health is so important for pregnant women as pregnancy is often a very happy and exciting time.
But not every woman feels this way.
You may have mixed, or even negative feelings about being pregnant. You may find it more difficult than others to cope with the changes and uncertainties which pregnancy brings.
Many things can affect how you feel in pregnancy, these include: physical symptoms (e.g. morning sickness), the support you have (or don’t have), and stressful events in your life.
Maintaining your mental health during and after pregnancy helps to relieve you of stress and ensure proper care of both you and your baby.
Mental ill health among women is on the rise during pregnancy or after birth. It can happen to anyone. Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health problems in pregnancy. These affect about 10 to 15 out of every 100 pregnant women.
One in five women (19%) experience a Common Mental Disorder (such as anxiety or depression), compared to one in eight (12%) men.
Mental health problems you have had in the past can be worrying because they can increase the risk of becoming unwell, particularly after birth.
However, with the right help this can often be prevented.
