Postpartum Wellbeing

 

Hey, mama

 

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.


As a mother, myself - I fully get how raw, real and overwhelming this time can feel. That said, I want to know how best MATRA SOMA can support new mothers, and the mother-baby dyad across the first 12-24 months postpartum.


This survey is part of my ongoing mother-baby work. Your answers will be completely anonymous and there are right or wrong answers - just your truth.


Some questions touch in raw emotions, daily challenges and how you feel in your body. These are sensitive topics but the archive work is going toward much bigger, great work, sharing a collective voice of what some many of us mothers carry.

 

Some early findings to share..

66%

Of respondents reported to be first-time mums, while 1/3 had other children.

68.8%

Of mums, listing their emotional states said they feel 'overwhelm'.

15+

Mothers reported experiences of either anxiety, anger, frustration or joy.

6%

Described their postpartum emotional wellbeing as very good.

"I've never felt more deeply.

The highs are higher, the lows lower. My emotional wellbeing is directly linked to both the wellbeing and proximity of my little one"
