## About Maternal Mental Health Counseling

**Here for You, Whatever This Journey Looks Like**

### What You Can Expect

Pregnancy and new parenthood bring a mix of feelings - excitement, worry, exhaustion, sometimes sadness. I know it’s not always easy. My role is to give you a safe, private place to talk things out, whether you’re facing postpartum anxiety support needs, feeling disconnected, or just struggling with the day-to-day.

### Who This Is For

- Moms-to-be and new mothers processing big emotional changes
- Fathers and partners who also feel the stress (haan, even you deserve to be heard)
- Anyone feeling the weight of “log kya kahenge” (what will people say) and wanting real support, not just advice

### What I Offer

- One-on-one, confidential perinatal counseling sessions
- Space to talk about baby blues, bonding, sleep troubles, or just feeling not-your-usual-self
- A chance to join a wider community for peer support and shared stories

### How I Work

No judgment, no “shoulds,” just listening. I won’t give you all the answers - I’ll help you find your own. My goal is for you to leave a session feeling “humko bahut sara jaankari mila” (we got a lot of information) and “Ee session inda naavu thilkondvi” (we learned from this session).

Your journey is unique. You don’t have to do it alone.

### My story

Hey, we’re Bangalore Birth Network. We started with one idea: every ma and baby should feel safe and heard, no matter what. We’re not just doctors or counselors, we’re moms too – and we know this whole parenting thing is a wild ride. We’ve seen women open up, ask tough questions, even in Hindi – ‘aaj jo hai... pura clear se open se maine question kiya... bahut achha laga’ (Today I could ask everything openly, felt so good). That’s what we’re about. Come as you are, speak your heart, we’re here.

### My work

- **All Our Services**: Birth counseling, postpartum mental health support, lactation consults, babywearing sling library, plus meetups for moms and toddlers.
- **Respectful Birth Counseling**: We help you choose – hospital, home, or birth center. Your birth, your way, with real info and zero judgment.
- **Community Support in Many Languages**: English, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi – talk to us in your language, no worries.
- **Free Camps and Training**: We run camps for moms, train ASHA workers and nurses, all to spread respectful, evidence-based care everywhere.
- **Postpartum and Breastfeeding Help**: After birth, we’re still here. Support for breastfeeding, newborn care, and surviving those first months.
