What the petition asks

Everyday women are suffering with mental health because of a traumatic birth and it’s not recognised, it affects there everyday life, it’s stop them doing things they once enjoyed. Millions are suffering everyday.
We the people of Great Britain need the government to make mental health services more accessible so people can get the help they need after a traumatic birth. Don’t let another family suffer because the nhs is stretched. I didn’t get the care or help I needed because the nhs was too busy and rushed. I nearly lost my life. Don’t let this happen to anyone else, don’t let another women go through this. It could be worse next time.
