Perinatal Mental Health
The perinatal period—from pregnancy through the first year postpartum—is a time of profound change. While it can be joyful, it can also be overwhelming. Often referred to as the 'perfect storm' this period includes changes in biology, hormones, identity, relationships, sleep, routines, grief and loss, trauma, and expectations (of self and others) can deeply impact emotional well-being. You are not alone, and support can make a meaningful difference.
