Can stress and mental health issues impact the management of a high-risk pregnancy? If so, how can they be addressed?

Thank you Chloe Spears for asking a very important question related to mental health. It truly does. Although there is no direct association of stress on the pregnancy, significant mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar or schizophrenia does have an impact on the pregnancy with regards to compliance, fetal growth, developing gestational diabetes and the risk of progression, especially post delivery. Maternal medicine experts should be able to address these issues and if one had a past history, or a family history of current symptoms of mental health issues, it is best to reveal this to your doctors who may be able to advise, support and also assist in many ways possible. Interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapies, talking therapies and even most medications are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not suffer in silence.
