Mind Matters: Emotional Wellbeing in Pregnancy

In this episode of The MAMA Podcast, Heidi Eldridge, Founder and CEO of MAMA Academy, is joined by Tessa Van Der Vord, The Mental Health Midwife, to explore emotional wellbeing throughout pregnancy and the transition into parenthood.

Together, they discuss the emotional changes that can come with pregnancy, how to recognise when additional support may be needed, and why mental wellbeing deserves the same attention as physical health.

Tessa shares practical advice for navigating anxiety, uncertainty and difficult emotions, while exploring how partners, families and healthcare professionals can provide meaningful support.

This episode is part of The MAMA Podcast’s new Expectant Parents Series, created to help parents feel more informed, supported and confident throughout pregnancy.

The Expectant Parents Series is proudly sponsored by Fletchers Solicitors, supporting MAMA Academy in helping families access trusted information and feel empowered throughout their pregnancy journey.
