after my baby is born

Motherhood and Fatherhood
Deciding to be a mother or father can bring up a lot of emotions, concerns and excitement.  You might start to think about your relationship with your own parents, of how you were cared for growing up, what sort of parent you want to be and what future you want for your baby.  You may have difficulties in getting on with your partner or the father of your baby. It can help to talk to a counsellor or to other young mums or fathers.

Brook offer a “someone to talk to” service. You can go along for emotional support or just for a chat. You don’t have to be having sex to go along to Brook.
