Parental mental health and parent infant relationship support
Support during pregnancy and after birth
The health and emotional wellbeing of you and your family is particularly important in the Start for Life period. It can affect your emotional wellbeing and this is common. Some parents and carers struggle to bond with their baby.
There is support and information available to help you. It is important to talk about how you are feeling and get the support you need.
- Discuss any emotional wellbeing needs with your midwife, health visitor or other health and care professional at any point. This can be at any one of your appointments, through Just One Number or at your GP surgery.

- You can self-refer to NHS Wellbeing Service for help with low mood, depression or stress
