Emotional Health during Pregnancy and Early Parenthood booklet

Pregnancy, birth and early parenthood can be a very positive experience. However, it may not be exactly what you expected. This will be a time of change for you and it may be difficult to adjust.

This booklet looks at emotional changes you can expect during pregnancy and early parenthood, what you can do to manage these emotions so that you can get the most out of parenthood and what to do if times get tough.

Printed versions of these resources are available to order from our materials ordering section.

A previous version of this booklet has been translated into various languages and is available here.
