Your mental health during this time is extremely important. Mental wellness affects your overall wellbeing as well as the short and long term development of your baby and older children. 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads will experience a Perinatal Mental Health Condition during pregnancy and the first year after childbirth. If you are experiencing this, please know that you are not alone!

The good news is that with proper support and early detection, most parents can begin to feel better rapidly and more fully enjoy their lives, relationships, and the experience of parenting. Even if you just don’t feel like yourself, please reach out for help.
