Babies cry, you can cope

When babies cry it can be stressful and overwhelming. Help is out there and all you need to do is ask. Visit ICON.


Looking after you and your partner’s emotional health

If you or your partner need mental health support, please contact your health visitor, your GP or self-refer to Health in Mind. If you feel you need dedicated time to talk about your pregnancy, birth, or the period after your baby, or babies, were born, our birth reflections service is dedicated to listening to women and people after birth.
