This week marks Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week.
'Its like a piece of your heart is outside your body'.
That's according to an Offaly mum of two following her experience with post partum anxiety.
Doctor in Emergency Medicine Rebecca Headon suffered with separation struggles with her first child until the Public Health Nurse picked up on it at the 16 week assessment.
She was referred to an Ups and Downs group for six weeks to help her cope.
This week marks Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, which aims to destigmatise post natal struggles.
Ms Headon says the support group allowed her to open up:
