If you don't feel yourself we urge you to start talking.
1. See your health care provider. Book an appointment with your GP and be open and ask them to complete a mental health care plan.
2. See a specialist (therapist / psychologist)
To help you find support for emotional and mental health problems you may experience when having a baby, COPE has developed the e-COPE Directory, which includes services and professionals that have a special focus on emotional and mental health in pregnancy and the following the birth of a baby.
3. Call or text a Postpartum support service.
We are here to help, sometimes all you need to know is where to start.
We have made a full list of steps to start your journey to recovery.
If you live in the Australia and are looking for extra support or advice urgently, there are a number of services you can approach:
