You know about the three trimesters during pregnancy, but what about the fourth trimester?
Here are a few reasons why adjustments postpartum should be a non negotiable!
Physical: Our bodies change in miraculous ways during pregnancy. I mean hello, you just grew an entire human for 9 months 🤰🏽 and then BIRTHED them. You walked differently, stood differently, slept differently, and sat differently, especially during your last trimester! Your body was just different & your spine is feeling it. This is where the importance of postpartum adjustments come in the play!
Emotional: Let’s face it, newborns need a LOT of attention and it can take a toll on our emotional health. We went from having a good nights sleep to now having long hours awake through the night 🥱 as we nurse and care of our new baby. Hormones have experienced all time highs ⬇️ during pregnancy and then can dip into all time lows ⬇️ postpartum. These changes can bring on mood swings, anxiety and depression, mom brain, and baby blues. Getting your nervous system back in line will help balance these hormones.
Support: We’ve all heard the saying “It takes a village” and we totally agree. Unfortunately not everyone is blessed with a huge local support system or have family that live far away. That is where we step in! ❤ WE are here for you. ❤ WE see you. ❤ WE support you and your decisions as new parents. We will be your shoulder to cry on, your sound board for questions and concerns, and your family through it all.
Did you have adjustments during your fourth trimester? How did it help you adjust to life with your new blessing?
