Support for emotional wellbeing during pregnancy and early motherhood
Pregnancy and early motherhood can bring a wide range of emotions. Alongside excitement and joy, many women experience uncertainty, worry, anxiety, or low mood during this significant life transition.

MindMum helps you take an active role in caring for your emotional wellbeing by offering practical, evidence-based strategies and tools to support everyday challenges.

- Manage mood changes and anxiety, including identifying triggers, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and developing healthy coping strategies
- Strengthen relationships with partners and support bonding with your baby through improved communication and emotional awareness
- Build confidence in your parenting role and feel more supported during times of change
MindMum includes practical features such as a mood tracker, relaxation and stress-management exercises, and tools to help plan responses to difficult situations.
