HELPING HEALTH OF MUMS-TO-BE

Next week is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week – an annual campaign led by the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership, dedicated to supporting the mental health of parents-to-be.

Perinatal mental health problems affect more than one in five mums and one in 10 dads during a pregnancy and after birth, and can cause feelings of guilt and shame if parents feel they can’t feel an instant bond with their new baby.

The NSPCC team in the Midlands is urging any expectant or new parents in the region who are struggling with anxiety or mental wellbeing, to find out how the charity can help them.

Pregnancy in Mind is a free eight-week virtual service run by the NSPCC for expecting parents living in the Midlands. The service helps parents learn mindfulness, relaxation and coping techniques while building and strengthening their growing relationships with their unborn baby. The virtual sessions provide a supportive environment for parents-to-be, where they can hear from others in their position and gain support from our practitioners and each other.
