Being a mum is widely described as the best experience, but it also one of the hardest things.
As a mum it is hard to communicate our feelings, as it is often matched with guilt, and with feeling like we can't cope. But did you know it's totally normal to feel this way.
- 1 in 5 mums are affected by mental health difficulties.
- 20% of women develop perinatal mental health problems during pregnancy and year 1 of having a baby.
- Two-thirds (67%) of pregnant young mums aged between 16 and 24 years are affected by mental health issues.
- 1 in 8 new mums are embarrassed to admit their true feelings due to stigma.
This is why charities like MumsAid are so important as they provide a space to open up and find sources of support through this whirlwind experience.
Through MumsAid:
- 85% of mothers see an improvement in mental health.
- 89% report having an improved bond with baby
- 76% feel significantly improved confidence in parenting
