ANXIETY & FEAR DURING PREGNANCY

It is recognised levels of mental health complications for women in pregnancy are increasing globally. Anxiety and fear in pregnancy are currently not recognised or well addressed in maternity services, despite the potential impact on postpartum mental health and future wellbeing of the baby. This set of videos is for health professionals to raise awareness of these conditions and provide some guidance for improving care. Trigger warning: there are some references in these talks to challenging mental health stories including suicide. ​ This learning module can be used towards CPD for revalidation with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the UK, and equivalent bodies in other jurisdictions.
