Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing for Mothers

Understanding your mental health and emotional wellbeing during pregnancy and after the birth of your baby.

Having a baby is a huge life event and a time of change. It is normal to feel many different emotions during the transition to parenthood, for example, over half of all new mothers will experience what is known as the “baby blues”. Symptoms of the baby blues include feeling tearful, irritable, and overwhelmed at times and can last for about 10 days after having a baby.
