Around 1 in 5 women experience mental health problems during pregnancy or within the early postnatal years. We just might not see it openly.

70% will hide or underplay their illness.

Perinatal mental health problems are one of the leading causes of death for women during pregnancy and the year after birth.

Perinatal mental health problems such as antenatal or postnatal depression, anxiety, postpartum psychosis, OCD can range from mild to severe and a lot of cases go unseen, undiagnosed and untreated.

Untreated perinatal mental health problems can cause avoidable suffering, damage families, impact on children, and even cause death or serious injury.

Did your mental health suffer before, during or after pregnancy? Where did you go for help or what did you do to help yourself, let us and our followers know in the comments 💚

Most people would say they have heard of sepsis, but when asked whether they know the signs and symptoms, the answer is different.

At Mini First Aid, we educate about sepsis in all of our first aid classes. It’s something we take very seriously because sepsis claims the lives of 50,000 people in the UK every single year.

Last week, our founder Kate was at the Houses of Parliament for a reception with our charity partners The UK Sepsis Trust. Hosted by the brilliant sepsis survivor ‘Bionic Peer’ Lord Craig Mackinlay, together with Harry Redknapp, Melissa Mead MBE and actor Jason Watkins. An incredible gathering of people, all focused on saving lives. The stories were so moving.

Thank you to Dr Ron Daniels BEM and Sarah Hamilton-Fairley for filling a room with health care professionals, passionate educators, those with lived experience of sepsis, and government representatives who truly care about the future of sepsis research, education and treatment.

This event really drove home how important our work in raising sepsis awareness in the community through our first aid classes really is, and we continue to support The UK Sepsis Trust wherever we can.
