- Identity shifts: A mother may experience a shift in her self-perception, reevaluating her priorities and goals.
- Emotional adjustments: Feelings of joy, love, frustration, and even numbness are common during matrescence.
- Relationship changes: Dynamics with her husband, family, and friends may need to adapt as her focus shifts towards the new child.
- Bodily changes: Matrescence acknowledges the physical and emotional changes a mother experiences during pregnancy and pospartum.
It refers to the psychological, emotional, and social transformation that a woman experiences when becoming a mother. It encompasses the entire journey, starting from pregnancy and continuing throughout the early years of motherhood.
This term was first coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael in the 1970s, the term emphasizes that becoming a mother isn't just about the physical changes of pregnancy and childbirth.
Much like adolescence signifies a major developmental shift, matrescence is a complex change for a woman adjusting to her new identity as a mother.
Matrescence is the transition a woman goes through when she becomes a mother.
