35) Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the First Six Weeks Postpartum with Your Midwife with midwife Chandelle

The six weeks following childbirth are some of the most intense and transformative days you will ever experience. In this kickoff to our Maternal Mental Health series, we welcome back Amsterdam-based midwife Chandelle to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the "Fourth Trimester." While midwives are experts in your physical recovery, they are also vital witnesses to your transition into matrescence—the deep identity shift of becoming a mother.

Chandelle shares practical insights on what to expect during those first forty days and how to build a partnership with your midwife that prioritizes your emotional well-being. We discuss how to speak up about your mental health, the importance of holistic self-care, and why your midwife is your strongest advocate during this vulnerable time. Whether you’re currently pregnant or in the thick of newborn haze, this episode offers the guidance you need to navigate early motherhood with confidence and support.
