Perinatal Mental Health & COVID-19 for parents

Report - 11 May 2020

Drawing on the findings of the perinatal mental health project carried out by another local Healthwatch (Wokingham) this offers information for expectant or new parents in West Sussex.

Covid-19 has caused many non-essential NHS services to be put on hold, others including antinatal classes are being offered digitally.

For pregnant people or new parents this can be a very anxious time, as we are hearing.

Report covers information on:

  • Antenal Appointments
  • What about my baby's birth?
  • Postnatal Support
  • Mental Health Support
  • Breastfeeding Support
  • Community Groups
