This NHS team helps mums who are feeling low when they're having a baby or after having one. They give advice about using antidepressants when having a baby or breastfeeding.

If you are worried about your mental health, and thinking about having a baby they can help with advice even before you get pregnant.

They visit you at home, and you can also bring someone you trust, like your partner, a family member, or a friend to your appointments.
