A recent study from the University of Edinburgh has uncovered major gaps in mental health support for pregnant and post-natal women. Despite some improvements, many women aren't getting the help they need early enough during pregnancy. Key findings: 🔹 Mental health issues like depression and anxiety are common during pregnancy. 🔹 Untreated mental health problems can lead to birth complications and other serious issues. 🔹 Women face stigma and guilt, preventing them from seeking help. 🔹 Early intervention and better-informed healthcare providers are crucial. It's time to prioritise mental health for expecting and new mothers! #MothersUncovered #MentalHealth #PregnancySupport #PostnatalCare #MaternalHealth #UniversityOfEdinburgh #EndTheStigma

Navigating a pregnancy with a life-limiting diagnosis for an unborn baby is incredibly challenging. Perinatal palliative care offers crucial support, ensuring not only compassionate care for the baby but also protecting the mental health and resilience of parents. This specialized care includes emotional support, empowering decision-making, and holistic care for the entire family, leading to better long-term mental health outcomes.

Our mental health crisis won’t go away unless we start looking at where and how people access their health services. Make it easier for mom’s (and dad’s) to get the supports they need in primary care settings, especially during pregnancy and the first three years after baby arrives. #mentalhealth #dyadiccaremodel #communitysupports

Maternal mental health isn't just a “women’s issue”... it’s an EVERYONE issue. That was my top takeaway from #PSICON2024. Here are 4 other things on my mind coming out of the 2024 Postpartum Support International conference: #1 Maternal mental health issues are happening at an ALARMING rate. 80% of birthing parents experience baby blues and 1 out of 5 develop maternal mental health complications But this topic still isn’t discussed enough and resource deserts make it even harder to find care 🤯 75% of women who experience complications remain undiagnosed and/or untreated 👏THIS 👏MUST👏CHANGE👏 #2 Military parents are suffering disproportionately. Military members and their partners experience maternal mental health complications at 2-3x the rate of civilians. Military parents are more likely to suffer alone while their partner is deployed and they are far from family/friends #3 Families need easier access to postpartum Doulas. Doulas make a huge difference. They work extremely hard in difficult conditions to support families at their highest highs and lowest lows. Research shows that families who use doulas have lower rates of anxiety and depression, are more likely to breastfeed, and are more likely to feel good about the care they receive. #4 We can solve this. And I’m so fired up to tackle these issues. Here’s what we’re doing at Triplemoon: ⬆ We’re including vital mental health resources in all of our Learning Programs (find out more at www.triplemoon.com) in coordination with Postpartum Support International and Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance (MMHLA) ⬆ We’re rolling out a new initiative specifically to support #militaryfamilies.

Do we see the problem here?? How many of you had your PNP, nurse, or OB ask you about your mental health DURING your prenatal appointments??

Maternal Mental Health: The Overlooked Connection Maternal mental health is a critical aspect of a mother’s well-being, yet it is often overlooked. Pregnancy and motherhood bring immense joy, but they can also trigger significant mental health challenges that are sometimes underestimated or ignored. Mental health during and after pregnancy is essential not only for the mother’s well-being but also for the child and the family.
