There’s a great online service that helps pregnant and breastfeeding moms make informed choices about medications and other exposures that can be potentially harmful. It can be hugely confusing and worrying when you have to make choices that could potentially harm your baby’s health and they are a non-profit that provides info based on up-to-the-minute research.
Visit Mother to Baby www.mothertobaby.org for information on medications, supplements, medical conditions, infections and vaccines and other toxic exposures. If you still have concerns after reading their fact sheets they have experts that you can chat to. What a wonderful free resource!
If you want to read more about maternal mental health download the FREE Guide To Pregnancy & Postpartum Stress, Anxiety & Depression. It is full of information about symptoms, different types of maternal mood disorders and advice about what to do to start feeling like yourself again.
