The 4th trimester is the first 3 months of your postpartum period where bonding, nutrition, comfort, nurturing and rest are most important for BOTH you and your baby.

It is the beginning of your transition into motherhood. It is a time of healing and adjustment.

It is a time of great change.

Preparing for this period will ensure that bonding, nutrition, comfort, nurturing and rest are a part of your postpartum in a way that works for you.

Preparing for this period allows you to anticipate and adjust to the many changes as best as possible.

If you'd like to learn more about the 4th trimester and prepare for this period and beyond, please join us for my Prepared Postpartum class starting in September.

Send me your questions.

I hope to see you there!

Your early postpartum period (AKA the 4th trimester) should be restorative. It's a time of healing, bonding with your new one, rest, and restoration.

Contrary to our cultural norms, it is not a time for doing and productivity.

Your body is recovering from birth, possibly feeding a new human and slowly transforming (once again) to a non-pregnant state.

You deserve to be nurtured too. It's not a luxury, it's a need.

I'd love to know, how were you nurtured in your postpartum? If you're pregnant now, how would you like to be nurtured in your postpartum?

Motherhood does NOT equal martyrdom.

Currently, preparation for the arrival a new baby is focused on the pregnancy and birth.

But, what happens after baby arrives?

Many women fall into the gap in care that currently exists. They are left to nurture themselves and find their own answers to the healing, support, community or guidance they need.

The birthing parent should not do these things alone. They need nourishment, support and care just as a newborn does.

Prepared Postpartum is a group for birthing parents to do just that, prepare you for the healing period of the 4th trimester, the major life changes that come with the addition of a sweet baby and your transition into a new role.

Join us on Wednesdays from 6 - 7p, starting September 7th

I heard recently on the Dear Mama Podcast with , season 3 episode 12.

It is an A-MAZING and powerful conversation on motherhood and the perfect mother myth.

This quote stuck out to me because the truth of this statement resonated so deeply.

No only does the work of the mother remain invisible, so too does the mother herself.

We must nurture and support mother's, allow for imperfection, and put them at the center of the family where they truly are.

We must do better for mothers, each other and the greater good.

Tell me, does this quote resonate with you? Have you felt invisible in your role as mother? Do you push back on the perfect mother expectations?

I am a member of (Pregnancy & Postpartum Support Minnesota) and was recently a guest on their podcast “Baby Brain Podcast.”

I am so grateful for the opportunity to talk about the role of OT and CST in perinatal care and discuss the importance of perinatal care, especially postpartum and early intervention services!

Give it a listen and share.

Your body, your choice.

Women should be empowered, not regulated.

Women should be nurtured, not shamed.

Women should be heard, not shutdown.

Healthcare should be a choice, not forced.
