Talk Title and Synopsis
Nurturing the Nurturer: Mama First
Caring for Your Body, Mind, and Spirit Through Bump to Baby and Beyond
Becoming a mother changes everything — your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of time. Yet so much of the conversation around pregnancy and early parenthood centers on the baby, leaving many moms-to-be and new mothers unsure where their own needs fit in.
This panel brings together a team of health care professionals to shift that focus back to mom. Together, they’ll explore what it truly means to care for yourself — physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually — through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum months that follow. When mom is cared for, she’s better able to care for her family.
Parenting doesn’t start with the baby’s first breath — it starts with taking care of mama first.
