This day is dedicated to supporting each other through the worldwide journey of maternal mental health. Far too often, pregnant and postpartum mothers suffer in silence, with symptoms going undetected and untreated. Whether you are currently struggling or healing from past experiences, your journey matters. Believe us!
Mothers facing conditions like Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) are at significantly higher risk for maternal mental health complications:
- 32% report suicidal ideation
- 18% meet full criteria PTSD
- 52% consider termination for wanted pregnancy
- ~50% diagnosed with Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorder
- Over 80% face psychosocial struggles
These statistics reflect real, lived experiences. If you have faced anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief related to pregnancy, childbirth, or HG, know that you are not alone.
We believe in a world where there is better screening, compassionate care, and systems that address both physical and mental health.
