New mums aren’t being asked about their mental health at their six-week check, new research reveals, directly contradicting guidelines given to GPs.
A quarter of new mums who’ve given birth in the past 12 months say they were not asked about their emotional or mental health at their six-week GP check-up, according to the survey of nearly 1,000 mothers by the National Childbirth Trust (NCT). This is a huge figure – and could be up to 150,000 new mums in the last year.
