Emmerdale has been working with the Association for Post Natal Illness for the Tracy storyline, with boss Kate Brooks previously expressing hope that it will help those struggling find comfort.
"It will be hard to watch at times but ultimately it's a story about love and hope and we hope it offers comfort to those going through a similar experience," she said.
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Thursday, August 26 and Friday, August 27 on ITV.
