Sometimes women put their own self-care last. Other times, women are afraid of how they will be seen if they admit to feeling depressed or anxious.
Just like taking folic acid and eating well are important during pregnancy, taking care of your mental health is extremely important for you to be healthy, feel good, and for the health and well-being of your baby.
You can think about it just like the oxygen mask on the plane- you must take care of yourself first before you can take care of others!
