The Fourth Trimester

Service Description

The fourth trimester can be overwhelming and chaotic, especially when you begin to experience the hormonal and mental health shifts that occur naturally during this time period. Having solid information, education, and awareness of the realities of postpartum can significantly improve your ability to transition into this space. This class will cover the mental health component of postpartum, assisting moms in preparing and adjusting to this new experience. The course covers recovery, nursing/feeding challenges, self-image, sex life, postpartum depression and anxiety, colic, sleep deprivation, and more, in an effort to educate moms on what to truly expect as they transition into the fourth trimester. The course comes with a postpartum care plan that can be developed at any time in the perinatal period and shared with your supports in an effort to keep everyone aware of what challenges can impact a mother's mental health. The goal of this course is to normalize the challenges that come with motherhood, and provide a safe space to receive guidance, information and support.
