Pregnancy brings plenty of excitement, but it's also completely normal to experience moments of worry or uncertainty. Concerns about your baby's health, labour, parenthood, or the many changes happening in your body can all contribute to feelings of anxiety.
While occasional anxiety is common, persistent feelings of stress, fear, or overwhelm shouldn't be ignored. Your emotional wellbeing is just as important as your physical health, and talking openly with your obstetrician is an important part of your antenatal care.
There are many ways to support your mental wellbeing during pregnancy, including building a strong support network, staying active where appropriate, getting enough rest, practising relaxation techniques, and seeking professional support when needed. Every woman's experience is different, and there's no shame in asking for help.
As an experienced Melbourne obstetrician, Dr Steven Hatzikostas believes that comprehensive pregnancy care in Melbourne includes caring for both your physical and emotional wellbeing. We're here to answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and support you throughout every stage of your pregnancy.
