Just one more post about Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 💜
Even with all the progress we’ve made in raising awareness (which is amazing), the most common thing I hear from women is: “I wish I’d got help sooner.”
You tell yourself you’re just tired.
You assume this is what motherhood is supposed to feel like.
Of course your brain feels foggy.
Of course you’re overwhelmed.
Until later, when you realise you weren’t just tired or overwhelmed. You were struggling, and nobody had spotted it yet.
This is why I’ve shifted to more proactive and preventative support – if we’ve already built that relationship during pregnancy, and I’ve been there with you through your birth, it’s so much easier to spot those early signs and respond quickly before things reach crisis point.
