Mental Health & Motherhood

The emotional landscape of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period is vast; and vastly underestimated.

Anxiety that arrives uninvited in the second trimester. The unexpected darkness after a birth you'd prepared so carefully for. The identity shift nobody warned you about. The feeling that you should be coping better, feeling more grateful, doing this differently.

This conversation is for every woman who has felt that and every woman who wants to understand it before she does.

Harriet Marshall and Dr Jessica Stanbridge come together for an honest, warm and clinically informed interview and Q&A on the mental health and hormonal realities of pregnancy, birth and early motherhood. Expect honesty, expertise, and the kind of conversation women rarely get to have with a specialist psychiatrist in a safe, supported space.
