Welcome to the first of these four sessions

Learn about some of the Myths around Motherhood & hear from Mothers about their Experiences & Health after Birth.

Nurses, midwives, physiotherapists and mothers involved in the Maternal Health & Maternal Morbidity in Ireland (MAMMI) study at Trinity College Dublin have developed this course.

  • Over 3,000 first-time mothers from three maternity hospitals in Ireland were asked about their experiences of being a mother before and up to 12 months after the birth.
  • Using this research we have created a course to help you learn how to improve your health after having a baby.
  • This course is designed with and for women.
