  It’s hard for me to ask for help.

  I’ve had trouble with hormones and moods, especially before my period.

  I was depressed or anxious after my last baby or during my pregnancy.

  I’ve been depressed or anxious in the past.

  My mother, sister, or aunt was depressed after her baby was born.

  Sometimes it’s hard to slow down: I don’t need to sleep, have lots of new ideas, and feel very restless.

  My family is far away and I don’t have many friends nearby.

  I don’t have the money, food or housing I need.

If you checked three or more boxes, you are more likely to have depression or anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum. Reach out for help to reduce your risk.
