2) Early Pregnancy Mental Health: Managing Anxiety and Mixed Emotions with Dr. Naomi Gibson

What happens when a positive pregnancy test brings more anxiety than joy? In this episode of Dam Parenting, we get real about the "mixed emotions" of the first trimester. We’re joined by Amsterdam-based clinical psychologist Dr. Naomi Gibson for a warm, honest, and direct conversation about the mental health landscape of early pregnancy.

Being an international parent adds a unique layer of isolation to an already massive life shift. Dr. Naomi helps us navigate the identity crisis that often comes with pregnancy, offering practical self-care routines that actually work when you're overwhelmed. We discuss how to validate your feelings—even the "scary" ones—and how to recognize when it’s time to reach out for professional English-speaking support in the Netherlands. Whether you’re feeling ecstatic, uncertain, or somewhere in between, this episode provides the compassionate guidance you need to feel grounded.
