The physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition of becoming a mother is known as 'matrescence'. This is often the most significant transition of a women's life.
During this time, like adolescence, you experience a whole body transformation and can experience a loss of identity as you figure out who you are becoming.
Hormonal shifts, changes to your body and the challenges of new motherhood can affect your mental wellbeing. Having personalised, specialist fertility, pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester support can help you adapt to life with a new born.
Having the support of a therapist has been shown to reduce pregnancy anxiety and lower the risk of traumatic birth experiences and postnatal depression.
