Mental Health Problems During Pregnancy


You’re creating life, but who’s taking care of yours? It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, to feel scared, or even to feel lost. You’re not alone in this.

Pregnancy is often described as one of the most beautiful experiences in a woman’s life. But working with many pregnant women,I have come to realise that the journey is far from the glowing, picture-perfect moments often depicted. It’s a time filled with immense joy, yes, but also deep emotional challenges that can feel isolating.

This isn’t about being ungrateful or weak—it’s about being human. Your body is changing, your life is shifting, and your mind is trying to keep up with the whirlwind. Mental health problems during pregnancy are real, and acknowledging them is the first step to healing. Let’s talk about it.


The Silent Struggles of Pregnancy Mental Health

Depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges during pregnancy are more common than many realize:

  • 1 in 7 women experiences depression during pregnancy.
  • Anxiety disorders affect approximately 13% of expectant mothers.
  • Many women suffer in silence, thinking they should “just be happy” because they’re having a baby.
But here’s the thing: your feelings are valid, and they matter. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s not a sign of failure. It’s a sign you need support—and Daniella is here to offer exactly that.
Coping with Mental Health Challenges During Pregnancy

1. Speak Up About Your Feelings

Talking about your emotions is powerful. Whether it’s with a partner, a friend, or Daniella herself, sharing your struggles lightens the load.

2. Move Your Body to Heal Your Mind

Physical activity has a direct impact on mental health. Gentle exercises, like prenatal yoga or walking, can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and increase energy levels. Daniella’s customized routines ensure you’re moving safely while reaping the mental benefits of exercise.

3. Build a Support Network

Isolation can amplify feelings of sadness or anxiety. Daniella emphasizes the importance of connection, whether through prenatal support groups, her Instagram community, or one-on-one coaching.

4. Practice Self-CompassionIt’s okay to rest. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to admit that you’re struggling. Daniella’s empathetic approach reminds you to give yourself grace during this transformative time.
