New mums tell Marie-Louise Connolly the hard truths about experiencing serious mental health episodes after giving birth – without a Mother and Baby Unit, what help is available?

Marie-Louise Connolly investigates the difficult choice facing new mums who experience serious mental health issues after giving birth: in Northern Ireland, treatment means being separated from their babies. This is the only part of the UK without a specialist Mother and Baby Unit that would that allow in-patient treatment with their baby beside them.
