Build your support circle before birth
Small, specific requests can make everyday life easier.
You do not have to feel happy all the time during pregnancy. Talk with someone you trust about how you are feeling. Support can come from friends, family, community services or your healthcare team.
You can try
- Choose someone you can contact for a conversation.
- Ask for one practical task: a meal, an errand or help getting to an appointment.
- Tell your healthcare team if anxiety or low mood affects daily life.
