The Sleep/Wake Research Centre (SWRC) at Massey University, Wellington has started a new research study looking at sleep in pregnancy, specifically the links between sleep and antenatal depression.
Why are we doing this study?
• Every year approximately 10,000 NZ women are affected by depression during pregnancy – this also affects 10,000 babies and 10,000 families.
• Women who have previously had depression are twice as likely to relapse during pregnancy.
• Women who have depression in pregnancy are twice as likely to develop postnatal depression.
• Poor sleep increases the risk of experiencing depression and depression increases the risk of poor sleep, creating a negative cycle.
• Sleep disruption is almost unavoidable in pregnancy due to the enormous hormonal, physiological and emotional changes that occur.
So what are we doing?
We want to help women improve their sleep during pregnancy which will hopefully stabilise their mental health and lessen their vulnerability to depression.
Women can learn about sleep in general, why and what sleep changes occur in pregnancy and strategies and tips for improving sleep. Most importantly, women will be able to see what is happening to their own sleep as their pregnancy progresses.
If you, or someone you know:
• Are 13 weeks pregnant or less
• Have a history of depression
• Are having your/their first baby
• Lives in the Greater Wellington area
Then we would love to hear from you:
• FREE call: 0800 mumsleep (0800 6867 5337)
• FREE text: Text 'SLEEP' to 5222
• Email: mumsleep@massey.ac.nz
Recruitment for Sleep HAPi is continuing through until early 2018.
Participants will receive a $70 voucher at the end of the study.

The cost of the funeral is expected but we didnt believe we would be doing this so soon. Dominique was only 40 years old and I have no idea what lies ahead for me and my three kids.
