Though it’s perfectly normal to occasionally feel a little worried, anxious or even blue during pregnancy, you shouldn’t feel that way all the time. Up to 20% of pregnant women experience some degree of anxiety or depression, and research shows that a mother’s mental health can affect her baby while she is pregnant.
Whether you have been diagnosed with mental health issues in the past or never experienced symptoms before, we invite you to register for our upcoming FREE Well Moment webinar, which will explore ways women can recognize and cope with these issues.
