👶 Having a baby is a huge adjustment — whether it’s your first or your third, it can feel overwhelming and like life has been turned upside down.

❤️ You’re not alone. Around 80% of mums (and some dads) experience the “baby blues” in the first few days after birth. These feelings usually fade, but if they last longer, they may be signs of perinatal depression or anxiety (PNDA).

PNDA can look like ongoing sadness or worry, changes in sleep or appetite, low energy, or feeling “stuck” in your thoughts. The best way to know is to talk to a health professional — help is available.

✨ This Perinatal Mental Health Week, the theme is 'What you need, when you need it'. It’s about feeling safe and supported to reach out in the way that works best for you. 🤝

🌱 Looking after yourself also nurtures your baby’s mental health. Even small daily moments — reading, singing, or walking together — help build trust, resilience, and joy.

Depression looks different for everyone. Some feel deep sadness, others numbness, or being stuck in a dark place.

It’s a common medical condition, and it’s okay to ask for help. Knowing the signs + symptoms, understanding how it shows up, and finding the right support can make a big difference.

You’re not alone, and things can get better.
