Acknowledging when you are stressed, anxious or tired is the starting point to receiving the help and support you need. Talking to the right people e.g. family, friends, health professionals, can often make a big difference.

Whether its practical, emotional or financial assistance you need, putting these supports into place at an early stage will help you manage your stress levels, form healthy connections and enjoy time with your baby.

The pages in this 'Wellbeing During Pregnancy & Parenthood' section will provide you with information and links to help and support you as a new or expectant parent, looking after both your and your baby’s mental health during the early years.
