The physical, emotional and social transition of becoming a mother is known as 'matrescence'. This is often the most significant transition of a women's life.
During this time, like adolescence, you experience a whole body transformation and can experience a loss of identity as you figure out who you are becoming. This is intensified if you have been trying to conceive for an extended period of time and are ready to step into motherhood but are not yet able to.
Going through fertility challenges can affect your mental wellbeing. Having personalised, specialist support can help you weather these stages.
