Jun 24 Postpartum and Psychology with Tania Trapolini

The fourth trimester? What is it? What does that even mean? We've done the hard yards with the pregnancy and the birth, can't we just focus on the baby now?!

In this series we share conversations with leading experts that cover every angle of the fourth trimester and why taking care of the mother is so vital during this season of motherhood.

Today's expert is Dr Tania Trapolini, a Peri-Natal Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about supporting individuals and their families navigating their unique journeys into parenthood, from trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth and beyond.

She has always combined her clinical work with a strong research foundation, and her PhD and research has predominantly been in the area of maternal depression and anxiety.

I thought it was crucial to talk to Tania - because as much as its a physical shift - the impact on the family dynamic and the mother mentally is something we need to address.
