A few days ago I reflected on the way in which motherhood has changed my life. All of us who have been through this know that, although we do not all experience it in the same way (the mere fact of giving birth at term or not can make a huge difference), exhaustion and mental load is a common denominator that identify them all. But when does that mental load really start?
Taking care of the mental health of women during pregnancy is important. The latest studies on the subject have found that suffering from a disorder, such as depression, could have negative consequences for mother and baby, from presenting complications in pregnancy to increasing the risk of certain long-term diseases in the baby.
The birth of a child is a transcendental event, and as has been mentioned on other occasions, what happens during childbirth is deeply engraved in the brain of mother and baby. It is an experience that marks us and leaves us with an invaluable gift: our baby.
According to some research, depression is the number one health complication during and after pregnancy, and having it increases the risk of complications for mom and baby, such as affecting neurological development in childhood, as well as negatively influencing the bond between mothers and children.

Pregnant women are being one of the most vulnerable groups in these uncertain times of pandemic. The mental health of mothers is very important at such a special time as pregnancy and the birth of a child, and the situation of uncertainty that has been experienced since the start of the Covid pandemic is not the friendliest terrain.
The times that run are being complicated for all, but those of us who are parents have some peculiarities that sometimes make it even more difficult to organize taking into account the utopian "family conciliation".
Every end of the year the famous "list of resolutions for the new year" returns to our minds. However, after these months of uncertainty, stress, juggling to get to everything (and despite this seeing that the list of "to-dos" continues to grow vertiginously), we have come across a truly inspiring video. If you identify with this situation, you definitely have to see it.
