• Anxiety or depression during or after pregnancy

• Overwhelming concerns about baby’s safety

• Coping with traumatic birth experiences

• Difficulty due to infertility

• Grief from pregnancy loss

• Difficulty adjusting to the new role of parenthood

• Relationship concerns

• Stress in balancing family, work, and self-care
