Matrescence — Becoming a Mother
Empowering yourself during Matrescence
We talk about the birth of a child, but what about the birth of a mother? Women go through monumental physical, psychological, and emotional changes when they become a parent — a fundamental transition that's long been overlooked. We're here to give it a name: Matrescence.
All our matrescence — becoming a mother guides
Remember to be kind to yourself. It’s okay not to have everything figured out right away. Caring for a newborn is one of the toughest jobs in the world, and you’ll need time to adjust to your new routine.
