Lot Division

1 Parenting Support

The 'transition to parenthood' refers to a period of normal psychological and social changes associated with pregnancy and the arrival of a new baby, which may be stressful. All parents, but first-time parents, should be offered the opportunity to attend antenatal education classes that include modules aimed at preparing parents for these psychological and role changes.
2 Perinatal Mental Health and Parent-Infant Relationships

Evidence of the benefits of Perinatal Mental Health and Child-Parent Relationship Support. The pandemic has contributed to increased rates of mental illness among pregnant and new mothers in the UK. The lack of support during the intrapartum period due to changes to service provision are associated with increased stress, depression, and anxiety. This includes service changes such as the introduction of digital healthcare and attendance of antenatal appointments without partners or loved ones.
