No matter how prepared you feel, how much information you have, how smooth your pregnancy is, how well you have planned everything, or how certain you are that this is the happiest moment of your life, it is very likely that you will be surprised.
The changes in a woman's body, mind, and life during and after pregnancy may be the most significant she will ever experience. It is worth preparing emotionally as well for a moment that, like all intense moments (even the happiest ones!), demands great mental energy. For better or worse, changes always bring disruptions and adjustments, and in the case of the postpartum period, positive and negative feelings go hand in hand.
What is known as psychological prenatal care takes place in a group or individually and focuses especially on preparing for the psychological changes that occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period. It is conducted by a psychologist, but it is not the same as therapy! The term originates from research conducted by Dr. Alessandra Arrais, and those who offer it must have training in the field of perinatal care!
PNP is recommended for any pregnant woman who wants to feel more prepared and aware of the common and individual challenges she may face in motherhood.
It is for ALL mothers who seek to build a conscious motherhood from the very beginning!
It is for ALL women who want to make conscious birth choices and be the protagonists of their story with their baby.
It is about preparing for what comes next, especially the postpartum period, to identify fears and worries before they overwhelm you with the arrival of the baby—this tiny, adorable being who shakes up everything that has not been said, lived, or felt.
Here at IPE, we have created the "Gestando as Emoções" Group especially for you—who are pregnant and want to prepare not only the baby’s layette, the gender reveal party, and the birth, but also understand the importance of emotional preparation. Taking care of the mother’s mental health is part of this layette! Shall we do this together?
