Transition Of Motherhood: Matrescence Have you ever felt the changes in your body, as a teenager. What's that? Simply we do say hormonal changes. Exactly same goes with us, in MATRESCENCE, after giving birth to a baby. A lot of physical and emotional changes occur with us as ladies at that time too. And that phase, where we are completely unaware towards our changes, is termed as Matrescence as adolescence in teens. Alexandra sacks, a psychiatrist, who works with pregnant post-martem woman. A pattern noticed when woman calls her up. She's just had a baby and she's concerned that I am not enjoying this I'm not good at this do I have post-martem depression but symptoms are just that she is not clinically depressed and she tells her that. But she isn't reassured. It isn't supposed to feel like that. She says"Motherhood would make mefeel whole and happy I thought my Instincts would naturally tell me what to do I thought I would always want to put the baby first." This was an unrealistic expectation of the transition to the motherhood feels like. And It wasn't just one, there were so many women like this who couldn't measure up. Telling them they weren't sick wasn't making feel damn good, it was impossible to make them understand that this comfort is not always the same as disease. Alexandra sacks decided to do something to help this woman out. She decided to learn more about the psychology of motherhood. But she found almost nothing in the medical textbooks, because doctors mostly write about disease. She turned into entrepology and it took 2 years and in out of print essay 1973 by Damien Rafael. A helpful way found to frame this, conversation matrescence. It's not a coincidence that Matrescence sounds like adolescence both are times, when body morphing and hormone shifting lead to an upheaving. How the person feels emotionally and how they fit into the world like adolescence, Matrescence is also not a disease, but since doctors aren't educating Matrescence is dealt with much critical term postpartum depression. She developed a concept called the push and the pull concept. Here's the pull part our babies are uniquely depended unlike other animals are babies can't talk, they can't feed themselves, they are very hard to take care of. Evolution has helped this out with ahormone called Auxitoxin, Italy's around child's but and also doing skin to skin touch and it Rises even if you don't give birth to a baby. Auxitoxin helps human mother's brain zoom in pulling her attention towards the baby. But at the same time her mind is pushing her away, because she remembers there are other parts to her identity. Her relationships, her work, her hobbies, her spiritual and intellectual life, not to mention her physical need to eat, to sleep, to exercise. This is the emotional tug of war of Matrescence. This is the tension, the woman feels. When a baby is born so is a mother each one study on their own way. Matrescence is profound but it's also hard that what makes it human. THE TRANSITION TO MOTHERHOOD: FROM WOMAN TO MOTHER DURING PREGNANCY WE TEND TO GIVE A LOT OF IMPORTANCE TO PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES BUT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF WOMEN EVOLVE HAND IN HAND. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS PLAY A DELICATE ROLE ON THE FUTURE ADAPTATION AND TRANSITION IN THE PASSAGE FROM WOMAN TO MOTHER. Becoming a mother is a process which, although natural, is actually much more complex than it seems from a socio-psychological point of view. The circumstances of the life of the parents, the social environment, the conception itself, the level of support provided by the partner or family of origin, are all factors that participate in that transition event that takes the name of motherhood. The experiences of the new mother in her family of origin, her possible past and current mental health problems, the presence of a conflict, trauma or significant unresolved loss can often influence and alter this transition. The perinatal period is a time of tremendous change and opportunity. The term perinatal period refers to that period of time that goes from the 28th week of gestation to the 28th day after the birth of the baby. It is also that time when women may be more vulnerable to developing mental health problems. Psychology holds a prominent place and plays an important role in mental health treatment during this period, addressing the mother, the couple and, of course, the baby. Although it is not possible to make a generalization on the possibility that every woman, during pregnancy, develops mental health problems, on the other hand, every woman who is pregnant must adapt to the bodily changes she experiences, as well as to the awareness that a child is growing inside her. Psychologists can therefore also play an important role in the adjustment and adaptation processes during pregnancy. Several authors, such as Brazelton and Cremer (1990), have described conception and pregnancy as a preparatory phase for the future bond of attachment, understood as a period of testing and anticipation. All this is influenced by the mental images that the mother begins to create with respect to the child she carries in her womb. Thus began that period in which the idea of ​​becoming a mother took shape. The psychological aspects of pregnancy evolve in tandem with physiological changes. Although much more importance is given to the latter, the psychological components play a delicate role on the future adaptation of the woman and on her transition into becoming a woman and a mother. Experiences of previous pregnancy losses strongly undermine the subsequent psychological adjustment process. Loss of pregnancy can take many forms, such as cases of miscarriage and stillbirth, termination of pregnancy, babies born with a disability, prolonged infertility, and so on. Women, following events of this type, can present a lot of anxiety, anger, guilt and increased shame. In these situations, both the woman and her partner can benefit from the opportunity to work with a psychologist to help them overcome past losses as they prepare to welcome the new baby. Pregnancy is therefore a delicate and complex period, on which it is difficult to grasp the range of experiences and reactions that women and their partners can experience for the birth of their baby. Parental attributions and experiences during labor and delivery contribute to the relationship with the baby and can shape the meaning of what the baby represents for his or her particular family. A difficult or traumatic birth can leave a mother physically and emotionally exhausted. This in turn can trigger a cascade of difficulties related to nutrition, baby care processes and other mother-infant relationship difficulties. Research in the literature suggests that approximately 2-9% of women meet the criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder after childbirth, and these estimates increase between 24-44% among mothers of children with a high level of risk requiring admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. When premature birth occurs during the nine months of pregnancy, parents can be seized by feelings of incompleteness, perceiving themselves as unprepared and inundated with a variety of not always positive information about their child's health. Feelings of anxiety about the baby's health or guilt for not carrying the pregnancy to term may be reported in early parent-child relationships. The psychologist's task is therefore to help families process such experiences in order to foster a successful emotional connection with the child. In the transition to motherhood , Daniel Stern (1991) argued that a woman's identity shifts from that of a daughter (dependent on her parent) to that of a mother (responsible for her child). In this change, the woman draws on her history of identifications with her own mother or other parental figures. These early memories of being cured are stored in procedural memory and are often not accessible via narrative. However, they have a marked effect on development and the ability to form relationships, representing the relational mechanism underlying the intergenerational transmission of attachment. In a major study, Fonagy, Steele, and Steele (1991) found that maternal representations of attachment among pregnant women predicted their infant's secure attachment at 12 months in 75% of cases. The presence of unresolved trauma or loss is passed on to children through these specific patterns of interaction. Attachment representations can be modified with sufficient alternative relationship experiences, and pregnancy and parenting often provide an important opportunity for the integration of new information and change in internal working patterns. Therefore, psychologists working in the perinatal period can help women during this transition improve mother-infant relationships, as well as identify those at risk of relationship difficulties early to promote early intervention.   BIBLIOGRAPHY • Brazelton, TB, & Cranmer, BG (1990). The earliest relationship. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. • Fonagy, P., Steele, H. & Steele, M.

THE TRANSITION TO MOTHERHOOD: FROM WOMAN TO MOTHER:MATRESCENCE 




DURING PREGNANCY WE TEND TO GIVE A LOT OF IMPORTANCE TO PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES BUT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF WOMEN EVOLVE HAND IN HAND. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS PLAY A DELICATE ROLE ON THE FUTURE ADAPTATION AND TRANSITION IN THE PASSAGE FROM WOMAN TO MOTHER.
