Motherdom is the UK's first and only mainstream media platform dedicated to maternal mental health and wellbeing. Founding Editor Anna Ceesay, a former BBC journalist, went through her own maternal mental health issues during her second pregnancy. She was among the 1 in 5 mums who experience a mental health issue in the perinatal period (from conception through to when baby is 1 year old). She was alarmed at the lack of stories like hers in the media, so launched Motherdom magazine in March 2019.
