Let’s normalize that pregnancy is not always a joyous time for women.

Can it be exciting? Absolutely. Can it be physically and mentally exhausting? 100 percent. Your body is changing. You may be dealing with uncontrollable nausea. You may have dealing with unexpected complications. You're overwhelmed by the overload of information being thrown at you. All while trying to attend prenatal appointments, birthing classes, and read as many pregnancy books as possible in 40 weeks or less.

You are in a time of transition. As your body nurtures and cares for your baby within, it is just as important for expectant mothers to do the same for themselves. Therapy for Expecting Moms of Color can make such a difference as you will get the support you need as you prepare for an important moment in your life — parenthood. Your mental health while you are expecting matters and is worthy of support.
