Women’s lives at risk from lack of maternal mental health support – BBC Newsnight
Pregnancy and the early months of motherhood can be a time of great vulnerability for women. Almost one in five women experience a mental health condition during pregnancy or the first year of their child’s life.
In 2016 the UK government pledged a revolution in mental health services, including almost £300 million to provide specialist care for expectant or new mothers.
But new data, shared exclusively with Newsnight shows that despite progress, services across the UK are still struggling to meet their targets.
And while the numbers of women who take their own lives when they are pregnant or in the first year after giving birth are small – the risk of the worst outcome appears to be rising.
Newsnight’s Science Correspondent Kate Lamble reports.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

It's very distressing to see this. 1 in 5 mothers go through this. They aren't deliberately thinking this way. Its how the postpartum depression is. They might feel difficulty in controlling their thoughts. Surely no mother would want to harm her child. Thanks for bringing out this topic.

Statistics: "Since the 1950s, typically males die from suicide three to five times more often than females"

woman has a violent thoughts of purposefully harming her baby: "depression, poor woman, need help her"
man has a violent thoughts of purposefully harming his baby: "monster, psychopath, put him in a jail"
Statistically, more men commit suicide than women. Who care..

I wish someone would take a poll of all these "believers" how many of the males caused the need for abortion and how many of these females had one or more. were party to an abortion.
@muckraker7942
January 6, 2024 at 4:00 pm
Some of this stems from the trauma a lot of women are unnecessarily suffering during childbirth at the hands of the midwives, nurses and doctors. It’s a form of transference. This isn’t new, it is also common in trench warfare. Anyway, I’m sure the right people know this, but they will divert attention away from the true cause and instead use it to get more funding for their own needs. Oh well.

When the woman is pregnant she’s not vulnerable 🤦🏻♂️
Imagine the queen bee 🐝 who is responsible for a hive. Is the queen bee vulnerable?
The problem is the communication between husband and wife, she doesn’t speak to him 🤦🏻♂️
How is he supposed to know if she doesn’t tell him? 🤦🏻♂️

Is this a promotion for justifying abortion? If it is about Mental Health then a law should be enacted that no woman be allowed to have children. This would protect the life of millions, upon millions and millions of woman. Stupid comment? Just like the stupidity of a mother murdering her own child in her womb.
@MariaMartinez-xm4fl

Logical… too many organizations promoting motherhood as the worst thing that can happen to women, when it could and should be seen as one of the best.
@abuhurairah9977
January 6, 2024 at 4:00 pm
In the west, everything related to motherhood is "bad", " dangerous", "life threatening" for women.
and everything related to prostitution, porn, nudity, babi kiling aborsion is good for women.
wait, west now doesn't even know what "women" is.
how nasty western society has become!

As a person that raised 3 kids on my own without the help of relatives nor friends it is really hard to get through. I totally agree with her in everything she says and at the same time it's needed to depend solely in God. Thank God she was able to have someone who she can speak with without being judged something that's hard to find in someone nowadays.
