The Canadian Foundation for Women’s Health is Canada’s leading charity committed to the advancement of sexual and reproductive health of women in Canada and around the world through groundbreaking research, comprehensive education and leading advocacy in obstetrics and gynaecology.

Life With A Baby is a program focused on supporting parents during pregnancy and beyond. Through research and peer support programs, Life With A Baby works towards reducing and preventing postpartum mood disorders.

Pregnancy is a wonderful and positive experience, but most people don’t think of the challenges that come with it. CFWH Bumps on the Road -A 9K Walk for Pregnancy is the first time that everyone can come together and raise awareness and funds for research that addresses diseases or illness in pregnancy. Research topics that the CFWH supports can range from gestational diabetes, to high blood pressure and obesity in pregnancy.

Raising a baby is a wonderful experience, but it is can also be a challenge...  Through an evaluation, it's been proven that the Life With A Baby peer support programs help reduce the isolation and anxiety that most new moms face, and in turn, minimize the likelihood of moms feeling alone and developing PPMD symptoms.  Peer support programs like Life With A Baby has been proven to prevent postpartum depression by 50%. 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads will develop a postpartum mood disorder.  Fund raised will help in further reducing postpartum mood disorders in new moms and dads.
