Becoming a mother can be a significant emotional upheaval, and some women may experience mental difficulties related to pregnancy and childbirth.

Approximately 10% of new mothers experience postpartum depression within the first year after the child's birth. Even more mothers experience a postpartum reaction.

Having postpartum depression or a postpartum reaction can be challenging and can strain the mother, the bond between mother and child, and the overall family's well-being.

During the 2-month visit, we offer a conversation about the family's well-being and how you are feeling emotionally after becoming a mother. The conversation is based on a questionnaire that you fill out.

Based on the conversation, we assess together with you whether you need assistance. We can refer you to our health visitors who have specialized knowledge in this area.
