PHONE-IN
Deputy first minister, Kate Forbes, has revealed her 'astonishment' at how little understanding there is of postnatal depression. The MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, who has spoken out in the past about her own experience of the illness, also admitted her shock at the lack of resources and research into pregnancy and women's health issues. In a new podcast she also suggests that front line workers like midwives could benefit from top-up training to support the mental health of mothers in the immediate aftermath of labour.

Stephen is asking for your experiences of postnatal depression. And what was support like?
