Preconception counselling: mental health (video)
This video talks about the importance of mental health before pregnancy, and why it is necessary for every woman thinking about having children to be aware of her mental state and emotional stability before entering this stage.
Mental health is the foundation of balance in your life and directly affects your ability to cope with the challenges of pregnancy and motherhood. Dealing with stress, pressure, and negative emotions before pregnancy helps you build a healthier and safer environment for you and your future child.
Paying attention to mental health is just as important as physical health; it complements it and gives you the strength and flexibility to face this stage with confidence and peace of mind. Do not hesitate to seek support from specialists or talk to those you trust, as these are necessary steps in preparing for motherhood.
This video is part of Rahma Health's pre-pregnancy care series, which provides you with the information you need during this important stage.
