Pregnancy is only the beginning of motherhood, but what happens before, during, and after birth can shape both a mother's wellbeing and her baby's future.
In this episode, we sit down with Joanna Nawfal, Founder of Sophia Maternity, Lebanon's first dedicated pregnancy center, to discuss the realities of pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery. Drawing on more than two decades of experience supporting families, Joanna shares practical guidance for expecting parents while addressing some of the most common myths surrounding breastfeeding and maternal health.
We also explore why emotional wellbeing deserves as much attention as physical health, how partners and families can provide meaningful support, the warning signs of postpartum depression and anxiety, and the care every mother should receive before leaving the hospital.
Whether you're preparing for your first baby or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers expert advice to help families navigate one of life's biggest transitions with confidence, knowledge, and compassion.
