Whilst every attempt has been made on this website to address many of the facts surrounding Ante-Natal Depression, every one is different and every situation unique.   An outline of the details included in this website is available in my leaflet.

If you would like to receive paper copies of the leaflet or any of the documents on this website please email me or write to:

PO Box 1144, Bedford MK42 7ZH.  Please allow up to 14 days for a written reply.  There may be a small fee payable to cover printing costs.

 

You can join the Depression in Pregnancy forum, where you can chat with other people who are affected by depression in pregnancy, in a friendly, supportive environment.

 

Alternatively, if you can’t see the answer to your question in the Frequently Asked Questions section or have any relevant comments, please feel free to email me.  Confidential email support is available although please be aware this is not the same as online counselling and you will always be encouraged to speak with your GP and midwife.  You may also be asked for your GP’s contact details.  Replies to emails will usually be sent within 24 hours. Please ask for more details.
