The 4th Trimester

Every mother and their newborn will go through adjustments as they transition from pregnancy to the postpartum period. During this time, both mom and baby must get acclimated to new sleep schedules and breastfeeding, and mom will have to deal with body changes and sometimes, wound healing. Oftentimes, this time can be met with emotional woes as well. This all happens during the ""4th trimester"" or the first 12 weeks of the postpartum period.  To talk about what to expect and how to handle the 4th trimester, this week, Dr. Plenty is joined by expert guest and OB/GYN colleague, Dr. Temitope Ekwo. Dr. Ekwo practices OB/GYN full time in the Houston area and has two children of her own, so she provides both personal and professional insight about how to conquer the 4th trimester.  If you're expecting or recently had a baby, you need to listen to this episode!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
