One month of free therapy with Bounty Plus

Emotions can be all over the place during pregnancy, with your hormones fluctuating and big changes looming ahead. Though most women have good mental health during pregnancy, some find it harder to manage.

At Bounty Plus, we’ve teamed up with BetterHelp, the largest online global platform for therapy, to offer all of our members one whole month for free.

That includes:

• Weekly live sessions with a therapist of your choosing at a time to suit you
• Chat messaging with your therapist so you can contact them anytime, anywhere
• Group sessions throughout the week so you can participate in weekly, topic based discussions
• Full use of BetterHelp features including journaling, worksheets and goal tracking to keep
• Codes to share with friends and family so they can also have a month free
  

This service is here for you to talk about anything that is bothering you, pregnancy related or otherwise! You can use your sessions straight away, or save them for when you think they’ll be more useful. You’ll be allocated your own therapist who will be there to guide you through the process, and you’ll have access to their calendar to book your sessions at a time that suits you.

Coping during pregnancy

It’s totally normal to worry about lots of different things during pregnancy. Here are just a few things that will be running through your mind:

• How you’ll cope looking after a baby
• The birth! Especially if it’s for the first time
• Your relationship changing with your partner
• If you’ll have the financial means to still do fun things
• If you’ll have the time to do fun things
• If you don’t have a partner to support you

Looking at this list, it's no wonder we feel like we're on an emotional rollercoaster! Don't worry though, there are lots of ways to help you stay mentally well during pregnancy:

• Talk to someone
• It’s okay to admit that you’re finding things hard
• Get good advice
• Set realistic goals and take small steps 
• Know you’re not alone

We're really proud to be partnering with BetterHelp, to enable us to bring these tools to you.  If you're already signed up to Bounty Plus, you'll receive an email from BetterHelp with your login information, and if you've not yet given it a go, sign up for your free trial here!
