Experiences of non-birthing partners
Snehal Padhye, who is currently engaged in a fellowship in perinatal mental health, spoke on the podcast "Mothering", which is hosted by Ms. Veena Hari, a psychologist. Snehal spoke about the impact of the changes after the birth of a baby on the entire family unit- specifically, the non-birthing partner. Bringing her wisdom and experience, she also nudged people to reflect on when the journey of parenthood actually begins – when the baby is in the womb or way before that- when the baby is just an idea. A mother of a teenager herself, she also shared how she navigates motherhood and being a therapist and how these roles inform each other.
