When to Seek Help

As a new or expectant mother, it's essential for you to seek help for any health conditions when you notice symptoms that affect your daily functioning, your ability to care for yourself or your baby, or if you experience anything that feels unusual or worrisome. Here are specific guidelines for when you should seek help:

Physical Health Conditions

  • Any time symptoms appear severe or sudden: For example, if you have severe or persistent nausea and vomiting that isn’t relieved by dietary changes, high blood pressure, signs of preeclampsia (such as severe headaches, vision changes, upper abdominal pain, or sudden swelling of the face and hands), or any signs of infection.
  • Regular monitoring: Conditions like gestational diabetes and hypertension require regular monitoring by healthcare professionals.

Mental Health Conditions

  • When symptoms interfere with daily life: If feelings of sadness, anxiety, or worry are intense enough to interfere with your daily tasks or cause significant distress.
  • If thoughts of harming yourself or the baby occur: Immediate help is essential.
  • Persistence of symptoms: Symptoms of mental health issues that persist beyond a couple of weeks or worsen over time should prompt you to consult a healthcare provider.

Signs of Emergency

  • Physical health emergencies, such as severe abdominal pain, persistent headaches, vision changes, or extreme swelling, require urgent medical attention.
  • Mental health emergencies, including severe depression, suicidal thoughts, or psychotic symptoms (such as hearing voices or delusions), also demand immediate intervention.

It’s important for you to maintain regular prenatal and postpartum check-ups. These appointments are opportunities for you to discuss any concerns with healthcare providers, who can offer guidance, support, and treatment if necessary. It’s always better to err on the side of caution and seek advice early rather than waiting until symptoms become severe.

Where to Get Support

New or expectant mothers face a variety of physical and mental health challenges that can impact both their well-being and that of their baby. Knowing where to turn for help is crucial. Below are key resources and options available for support and medical care.

Healthcare Providers

  • Obstetricians and Gynecologists: Your primary healthcare provider during pregnancy should be your first point of contact for any health issues. They can provide diagnoses, treatments, and referrals if specialized care is needed.
  • Midwives: For those opting for midwifery care, midwives are also well-equipped to handle many aspects of pre- and postnatal care, and they often offer more personalized support.

Mental Health Professionals

  • Therapists and Psychiatrists: If you're experiencing symptoms of prenatal or postpartum depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, a mental health professional can offer therapy and additional support as required.

Online Resources

  • Postpartum Support International: Offers tools for finding local support groups and mental health professionals skilled in perinatal mental health care.
  • Mental Health America: Provides a wide range of information on mental health conditions, as well as resources for finding care.

Support Groups

  • Local Support Groups: Many hospitals, community centers, and clinics offer support groups for prenatal and postpartum women, providing a space to share experiences and get support from peers.
  • Online Support Forums: For those unable to attend in-person meetings, online forums can offer a sense of community and accessibility from home.

Emergency Services

  • If you are in immediate danger, such as having severe depressive or psychotic symptoms, it's crucial to contact emergency services or go to the nearest emergency room.

These resources provide a solid foundation for support and treatment for the myriad health issues that can arise during and after pregnancy. Prioritizing your health not only benefits you but also ensures a healthier environment for your child.
