Information for families about supporting women after birth

As well as being a very exciting time, having a baby can be a stressful time too for you and your wider family, even if it's not your first baby.

It's very common for families to feel a little unsure about how to deal with this new addition to the family. If you need help or advice on any aspect of having a new baby, talk to your midwife or health care professional, who will be happy to support you in any way they can.

It's very common for families to feel overwhelmed with the changes that are happening but there is support available to guide you.
