The fourth trimester is the 12 weeks after you give birth. The fourth trimester is a sacred time full of many ups, downs, beautiful and hard moments, time spent getting to know your new baby, time spent getting to know your new self, along with moments of stress and exhaustion, joy and love, physical and emotional recovery, hormone adjustments, and relationship adjustments.  So many things occur in the fourth trimester. Oftentimes, you can feel both extreme joy and sadness within the same day. This ability to hold multiple feelings and emotions at once is part of a healthy fourth trimester.  What is the fourth trimester?Why is it important to consider?Things to consider when planning for the postpartum.Chiropractic care for your newborn to help their body adjust to the stressors of birth.Building your post-birth support team.And lots of helpful resources!Resources:First 40 Days (book)The Postnatal Depletion CureNorth Atlanta Birth Services: Postpartum Planning CallPostpartum Support InternationalICPA4KidsPrior Aligned Birth Episodes:Ep 7: Building Your Village for the PostpartumEp 23: Returning to Fitness PostpartumEp 27: Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy with Dr. Tina HarrisFollow us on Instagram: Aligned BirthCheck out our individual websites:Sunrise Chiropractic and WellnessNorth Atlanta Birth ServicesDisclaimerThe information shared, obtained, and discussed in this podcast is not intended as medical advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional consultation with a qualified healthcare provider familiar with your individual medical needs.
