Result Page 1: Lower Concern

Your responses suggest you are coping reasonably well right now.

Many new mothers experience ups and downs. Motherhood isn’t easy. It’s encouraging that your answers indicate lower levels of distress at the moment.

Make sure you:
• Keep checking in with yourself, and be self-compassionate
• Accept practical and emotional support when it’s offered — it’s impossible to do it all
• Reach out early if things start to feel heavier, overwhelming, or like you’re struggling

You can always retake the quiz if you feel things have changed.
You are doing an amazing job. Be proud of yourself, and be kind to yourself.
