Empowerment in Motherhood and Beyond

Occupational therapy plays a critical role in promoting maternal wellbeing by addressing the unique challenges and demands that come with motherhood. Maternal wellbeing is an important concept that encompasses various aspects of a mother's physical, emotional, and social health. 

Occupational therapists can work with mothers during pregnancy, postpartum, and throughout the different stages of motherhood to provide support, education, and practical strategies to manage their daily routines and responsibilities. 

Some ways in which occupational therapy can support maternal wellbeing include:

1. Providing education about proper body mechanics and ergonomics to prevent injury and strain during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childcare.

2. Developing self-care strategies to manage the physical, emotional, and mental demands of motherhood, including stress and anxiety management techniques, sleep hygiene, and healthy eating habits.

3. Helping mothers establish a daily routine that accommodates their own needs and responsibilities while allowing them to care for their children.

4. Addressing physical and emotional challenges such as postpartum depression, anxiety, and physical recovery inc pelvic floor hypopressives following childbirth.

5. Support following birth trauma through Rewind Trauma Therapy.

6. Support Mums to work through strategies to manage social anxiety to attend baby groups

Overall, occupational therapy can be an essential part of supporting mothers in their journey to maintain their wellbeing while navigating the demands of motherhood.
