Ideal Preparation for Parenthood

Presentation

Presentation Description

What do emergency medicine and parenthood have in common? Insomnia, decision fatigue, infrequent toilet breaks – more than you’d think!

So when Natalie May, an Emergency Medicine and Paediatric EM specialist, became a parent, she should have been as prepared as anyone could be.

Of course, that’s not how things panned out. Join Natalie as she explores some of the normal and abnormal of early parenthood; the slippery slope into anxiety and depression; and what she learned from three weeks as a psychiatric inpatient.
