The Journey to Becoming a Mother
Matrescence is a term in anthropology, recognizing the myriad of psychological, hormonal, physical, emotional, and social changes which happen during the transition of becoming a mother.
Motherhood has changed. Demands on moms and expectations of what motherhood “should” be like are creating a globe-full of wonderful, exhausted mothers who feel inadequate.
Motherhood & Mental Health
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS) are the leading complication associated with childbirth, with a prevalence of 1 in 5 moms.
