35) Maternal Mental Health kick off with midwife Chandelle

In this episode, we welcome back Chandelle, an experienced midwife based in Amsterdam, who first joined us on episode 11⁠ to discuss midwife training and expectations. Now, Chandelle dives deep into what new mothers can expect during the crucial six-week postpartum period and the important role midwives play in supporting not just your physical recovery, but also your mental health during the fourth trimester.

Midwives are central to our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. They aren’t just there for the medical care—they witness our transition into matrescence and are key figures in helping us navigate both the physical and emotional challenges that come after childbirth. In this conversation, Chandelle shares practical insights and offers advice for building a strong relationship with your midwife. She emphasizes the importance of taking care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, and physically in these early weeks of motherhood, and how your midwife can be your guide during this transformative time.
