In this episode we focus on mental health in pregnancy and we're joined by midwife Laura Bridle who specialises in perinatal mental health. She advises on personal well being, where to get support during your pregnancy and postnatally. We also discuss general pregnancy symptoms at weeks 18-20 with our regular midwife Issy Bourton.
