Building Your Support System – Resources for Moms-to-Be in Canada

You weren’t meant to go through this alone. In Canada, help is always nearby — online, in clinics, and in your community.

1. Talk to Loved Ones
Let your partner, family, and close friends know how they can help — whether it’s emotional support, practical help, or just company.

2. Connect with Professionals
Your doctor or midwife can refer you to:
– Mental health supports
– Lactation consultants
– Prenatal classes

3. Join a Group
Look into:
– Free prenatal classes (through health units or hospitals)
– Local Facebook groups for moms
– Apps like Peanut or BabyCenter Canada

4. For Mental Health
You’re not alone. Try:
– Wellness Together Canada (free online support)
– Public health nurses
– Postpartum Support International (Canadian chapter)

You Deserve Support: Asking for help is brave. You are not alone.
