This week is Perinatal Mental Health Week, and we're joined by one of our lovely listeners who tells us her story of experiencing mental health challenges in the perinatal period. This mum thought she was suffering the 'baby blues' - but soon realised it was much more. She tells us about the strain this placed on her marriage, and how she found her way back to hope. 

If you have a story you'd like to tell anonymously, we'd love to hear from you. Send us a message on instagram @babybrain.podcast or via email babybrainpodcast@gmail.com We will keep all of your details completely anonymous and confidential.

Free support is available via the PANDA Helpline on 1300 726 306 (9am-7:30pm Monday-Friday and 9am - 4pm Saturday) or panda.org.au.

PANDA also offers an online mental health checklist for new and expecting parents to check for possible signs of perinatal anxiety, depression, and well-being concerns. 

PANDA has recently launched an online chatbot to help new parents navigate PANDA's resources and exercises to support them through the perinatal journey.
