Pregnancy
Pregnancy is one of the most important times to care for your mental health, because in caring for yourself, you’re actively supporting the healthy development of your child.

A Window of Opportunity
Research now shows that a mother’s stress, anxiety, and depression can influence how a baby’s brain and body develop even before birth. Stress-related inflammation during pregnancy can affect the nervous system in ways that shape cognition, emotions, and behavior well into childhood. The encouraging news is that even small, positive changes during this time can create lasting benefits. By receiving compassionate mental health support, practicing stress-reduction techniques, and nurturing yourself with targeted nutritional care, you can help build resilience for both yourself and your developing baby.
