The perinatal period is one of the most critical periods in the life cycle. The health of the mother and child are strongly and permanently influenced by events occurring during pregnancy, delivery or early infancy. In psychological terms, nearly 10% of women reported poor self-rated mental health during pregnancy. Moreover, sociodemographic characteristics indicative of social disadvantage are associated with a higher risk of poor self-rated mental health. 81.3% of these women did not consult a healthcare professional for psychological problems. The well-being project is designed to optimise the care of pregnant women with psychological or socioeconomic vulnerabilities and to assess the value of an early prenatal interview.
