    How will I be a mum when I can’t even control my own emotions?

    In this 'Let's Chat' episode, we talk with Katie about the added complexity a diagnosis, initially of depression and anxiety, then bipolar disorder, has on pregnancy.

    A mental health issue is daunting enough for most people but Katie had also just moved to a new town without her usual supports.

    Katie speaks so truthfully about her early feelings of whether she should even be a mum and how, with the right treatment, she got to the other side.

    It is a really insightful and considered chat, essential listening to anyone who either has mental health issues or is a support person, and who are going through the big beautiful journey of becoming MAMA.
