World Maternal Mental Health Day

Today is World Maternal Mental Health Day, and the HSE is highlighting the issue in Ireland.

Up to one in five women experience maternal mental health difficulties during pregnancy and after their baby is born. Four in five will experience what is called the 'baby blues'.

A range of supports are available from GPs, Public Health Nurses, Midwives and Maternity hospitals.

A dedicated page for maternal mental health resources can be accessed here, and include a downloadable booklet here.
