Why Check on Mom Matters
Check on Mom is designed to help support your maternal mental wellness while you navigate the experience of motherhood, which can be both joyous and overwhelming.
What is maternal mental wellness?
Maternal mental wellness means you have the opportunity and support to prioritize your own mental health while taking care of a baby. It's not easy, and that's the purpose of the Check on Mom program—to offer additional support and resources.
What is postpartum depression (PPD)?
PPD can be defined as depression that can start during pregnancy or in the first 12 months after delivery. It is one of the more common pregnancy-related medical conditions.
Risk factors for PPD include:
Family history of depression
Increased stressors
Hormone changes related to pregnancy
Learn the Signs and Symptoms of PPD. If you have concerns or questions about PPD, speak with your healthcare provider.
