Pregnancy Mental Health and Coping Strategies for Anxiety with Sara Fernandes

Pregnancy anxiety is more common than we think, but it's not something that's spoken about very often. In this episode, I'm joined by psychotherapist and mum Sara Fernandez from Only Human Therapy, and we are getting into all of it.We answer real listener questions on intrusive thoughts, postnatal depression and struggling to bond after pregnancy loss. We also unpack the fear-tension-pain cycle, why anxiety is actually a misuse of your imagination, and the concept of 'matrescence' and why so many women get misdiagnosed because of it.This is the conversation every pregnant woman needs to hear.Love, Poppy xReady to take your birth prep further?
