Booking & Clinic Details

Are you waiting for the stork’s visit or have you started thinking about it? You can take steps now to ensure your health and that of your future child.

Maternal mental health is essential for family well-being. A mother’s emotional state helps shape the way her family gets along, how they care for each other, and the choices they make. Preconception, pregnancy, and the postpartum period are crucial and sometimes delicate phases for a family.

What do we know about maternal mental health?

Numerous studies in the field of psychology demonstrate the impact of a woman’s emotional life and mindset on the baby’s epigenetics, a phenomenon known as perinatal imprinting. Babies are highly sensitive to their environment. Addressing emotional issues before and during pregnancy helps minimize their impact on the child.

By focusing on their own well-being, women can prepare to welcome their baby with peace of mind, directly influencing their future health.

Our specialists in maternal health are here to support and accompany you.

From my very first appointment with Dr. Marie Ammerlaan, I felt she listened attentively and empathetically to my concerns about pregnancy. Throughout my follow-ups, her caring approach fostered a reassuring environment that encouraged discussions that addressed my specific maternal mental health needs. I am extremely grateful for her advice, encouragement and interventions, all of which contributed to my well-being and, ultimately, that of my child.
