Mental Wellbeing
Pregnancy and the postpartum period can bring significant physical, emotional, and hormonal changes, which can be difficult to adjust to. Taking care of your mental and emotional well-being during this time is just as important as caring for your physical health.
Conditions such as depression and anxiety can occur during pregnancy and after birth, including postpartum depression. Support is available, and you don’t have to face this alone.
