Over the next 3 weeks #Brainwaves will be presenting a special Perinatal Mental Health series.

On part 1 of the series tonight we talk to Anita about how she embarked on her journey into motherhood with a history of serious mental health challenges. We discuss with Anita how with the right planning and support it's possible to start a family regardless of a history of mental health challenges.

If you find any of today’s show to be upsetting or you would like to speak to someone about your own experiences please contact PANDA on 1300 726 306.
