What is maternal mental health?
Maternal mental health (sometimes called reproductive mental health) encompasses the psychological, emotional and behavioral health of a woman in her childbearing and child rearing years. That means any challenges a woman may face while trying to get pregnant, during pregnancy, postpartum, or any time thereafter while raising her children fall into this category.
The issues that I most often work with that fall under this umbrella include:
Infertility
Miscarriage and termination
Infant loss
Mood changes in pregnancy
Postpartum depression and anxiety
Parenting
