Pregnancy and the first two years after having a baby is a really important time for the mental health of parents as you are more vulnerable to mental health challenges. As part of routine care through the NHS, the professionals you see should be asking about your emotional wellbeing as well as your physical health. However mental health is not always an easy thing to talk about, for the professional or the person using the service. Cheshire and Merseyside NHS want to understand what has been good about these conversations during your experiences, and what you think could be done to improve these conversations for other families.
