Episode 36 - Tips for the Fourth Trimester
About the episode:
In this episode, Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael share a conversation about helpful ways to prepare for and navigate through the fourth trimester with more ease and confidence. 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.
