Becoming pregnant, pregnancy, child birth and looking after a newborn baby are all challenging in their unique ways - and, if you’ve had challenges with your mental health in the past - it can be invaluable to have a preconception psychiatric assessment.

Dr Livia Martucci, Consultant Psychiatrist and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, talks through the process, and the value it can bring, here.
