little late to #maternalmentalhealthweek after a sm break, but this is a topic I’ve felt strongly about for years and it needs more awareness
Suicide is the leading cause of death in the 1st year after birth.
1 in 5 will suffer from a mental illness during pregnancy/postpartum
Beginning #MaternalMentalHealthWeek , it is important to establish a dialogue based around perinatal health.
For some people, the pregnancy, birth or neonatal period can be traumatic experiences.
Today Harriet and her family returned to the ward several months following discharge for her MBU de-brief as part of our pilot scheme. What a privilege to be able to offer 💜
Perfect for the theme 'Moving together through your changing world' #MaternalMentalHealthWeek
Final post for #maternalmentalhealthweek
Reuben is 10. Parenting is challenging.
It's such a boast when someone looks me in the eye and reminds me that I'm giving this my best and doing it well.
Because no matter how old they are or we are, we almost always doubt ourselves!
Every mother deserves support, understanding to navigate the challenges of motherhood. Let's break the stigma and ensure access to care for all.
