Taking care of yourself, both physically and emotionally, during your pregnancy is important because it can boost your chances of having a problem-free pregnancy and a healthy baby. Once your baby's born, being a new mum, can be happy and exciting. But it’s also normal to feel anxious and overwhelmed. It helps to have some idea of what to expect after the birth, when you leave the hospital, and when you’re at home with your new baby.
