Recent research found a significant increase in self-reported levels of depression and anxiety, and substantial reductions in physical activity in pregnant women from before to during COVID times. If left untreated, physical ailments and mental illness during pregnancy or in the first year after birth will continue to have a devastating impact long after the pandemic is under control. A proactive approach is needed to overcome these barriers, which is where The Atlas of Motherhood comes in.
The Atlas of Motherhood offers women a holistic collection of education and tools needed to support a mother’s physical, emotional, and mental journey to motherhood. It creates a connection through the bond of motherhood during a time when human connection is needed more than ever. The sharing of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys from mothers around the world helps to heal, empower, teach, and offer alternatives, thereby building collective knowledge on childbirth and improving outcomes for mothers and mothers-to-be.
