She added, “But we all know that pregnancy, childbirth and the first months and years of a child’s life can be hugely demanding. Parents often feel lonely and overwhelmed by these early years. Around 20 per cent of women in the UK are reported to experience perinatal mental illness.”

“Sadly, we also know that many more are suffering in silence. No one is immune to experiencing anxiety and depression during this time.”

The MMHA’s Everyone’s Business campaign is for all women in the UK who experience mental health problems before, during and after pregnancy. They offer supportive services to families in need.

According to the charity, 20% of women develop a mental health issue during pregnancy or within the early years after having a baby. Furthermore, the pandemic has increased mental health risks for new and expectant mothers.
