PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH (PMH):
emotional health, well-being, and wholeness throughout pre-conception, planning, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting
- Not just depression, symptoms can include a range of feelings and emotions related to stress, mood, anxiety, depression, rage, scary/intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, irritability, and more
- Not just postpartum, these symptoms can appear any time during pregnancy and the first year after your birth and beyond
- 1 in 5 people experience these symptoms, you are not alone
- Experiences such as loss, birth experiences, experiences of disrespect/discrimination/racism, or neonatal intensive care (NICU) may increase the likelihood of experiencing symptoms
- You don't need a diagnosis or a certain score for care and support- see the links below to connect with someone
- Sometimes symptoms can be hard to recognize in ourselves, if you are feeling "off" or "differently than your normal" please discuss with someone
