Yes, of course women with psychosis can be mothers. Ideally, they should be able to plan their pregnancy and develop a care plan that includes follow-up by mental health and obstetric professionals, especially when there is a medication regimen that needs to be continued during pregnancy.

If you want to become a mother, it is important that you seek help from your environment or ask for professional help to organize the care you will need during pregnancy and with the birth of the baby.

Some recommendations if you want to get pregnant:

• Wait a minimum of six months of stability before planning a pregnancy.
• Contact your healthcare professional (gynecology, family medicine, psychiatry).
• Do not stop taking medication on your own.
• Increase healthy hygiene habits (proper diet, avoid tobacco or any toxic substance, perform gentle physical activity).
• If possible, involve your partner and other family members in the treatment planning.
• Try to maintain your spaces for rest and nighttime sleep.
• Attend pregnancy and postpartum groups that your midwife may refer you to.
