Are you struggling to cope with the symptoms of Post Natal Depression?
You’re not alone, 1 in 10 new mums experience post-natal depression during pregnancy and during their child’s first year. Typical symptoms include:
-
Feeling sad and low in mood

Lack of energy

Trouble sleeping
-
Lack of concentration
-
Feeling like you can’t be bothered
-
Feeling agitated, irritable, hopeless and overwhelmed
-
Not enjoying the company of your baby, feeling indifferent

Thoughts of self -harm

Some mothers have thoughts of harming their baby which can be very unsettling

-
Sensory play, crafts, stories, song and movement
Mums also have access to:
