Pregnancy and Parenthood can be wonderful and also very difficult. Pregnancy and new motherhood (pre, peri, and postpartum; pregnancy loss) bring on an incredible amount of changes to your body, hormones, sleep, stress, and more. Mental health concerns can increase around peri and postpartum times, and especially after pregnancy loss and/or giving birth when ongoing care for mom tends to be discontinued around 6-8 weeks after birth.
A new National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is now available 24/7! It’s free and confidential. Call or text 1-833-9-HELP4MOMS (1-833-943-5746).
