$150.00 The Transition to Motherhood - Oct 2024


Becoming a mother is a profoundly transformative experience. It can be simultaneously thrilling and nerve wracking to welcome a baby into your family. Conversations with expecting first-time moms tend to focus on how to take care of babies – from sleep schedules to registry products to pediatrician visits. These conversations are critical. What is often omitted, however, are open and honest discussions about how to take care of moms and the challenges inherent in transitioning to motherhood. Tired and struggling new moms can feel isolated, overwhelmed, and even ashamed that they are doing something wrong, when in reality, many of these struggles are universal. Discussing the transition to motherhood before baby’s arrival can help expecting moms mentally prepare for the triumphs and challenges ahead.

In this workshop, we will debunk the common myths of early motherhood, connect over the anticipation of your baby’s upcoming arrival, discuss tips for navigating family dynamics in the postpartum phase, and learn how to recognize postpartum mood disorders. Run by Dr. Emily Danon, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive mental health, this workshop aims to empower pregnant women by giving them the tools and language needed to better prepare for the transition to motherhood.
