The motherhood journey is an awe-inspiring one, filled with moments of joy, challenges, and profound transformation. NativaCare was born out of a deep passion for celebrating and supporting women to transition throughout the different phases of this remarkable journey. As a Senior Midwife with UAE healthcare experience, I witnessed the challenges that women face during pregnancy and beyond. Nowadays, 14 per cent of women experience “Tokophobia” (fear of childbirth), and this last decade cesarean section rates have increased up to 40 per cent, a concerning trend impacting childbirth norms raising questions about maternal and infant health outcomes. After birth many women feel unsupported during their hospital stay and continue to struggle at home, particularly if isolated. The transition from hospital to home is crucial, making women vulnerable to emotional and psychological challenges, especially without a support system.
Maternal mental health is not only a global concern, but also a UAE concern with 20 per cent of women experiencing prenatal depression, rising to 35 per cent during the postnatal period. In the other hand studies have shown that those numbers are reduced with a right midwifery-led support system, and when pregnant women are well-prepared it increase their chances of positive experience and birth outcomes. The WHO has emphasize the importance of having midwives in any women’s life, stating they play a “vital” role, and their professional support and guidance is associated with improved quality of care and rapid and sustained reductions in maternal and newborn adverse outcome”.
Hence why NativaCare came to light with a team of skilled and knowledgeable midwives, collaborating with obstetricians and hospitals, to provide women and expectant women with comprehensive support through education, awareness, preparation, empowerment, active listening, and a nurturing environment providing evidence-based information, practical advice, and a holistic approach that takes in consideration the physical, emotional, and psychological aspect.
