What happens after the baby arrives?

The transition into parenthood doesn’t begin and end with childbirth. The “Fourth Trimester” refers to the first three months after birth—a time of tremendous adjustment for both parents and babies. Join Tina Tidwell Bedore, RMHC-I, Counselor at The Centre specializing in Maternal Mental Health, and Jessica Freedman, Birth Doula and Certified Lactation Consultant, for an informative discussion on what to expect during the postpartum period and how to prepare before your baby arrives.
During this webinar, participants will learn:
• What the Fourth Trimester is and why it matters
• Common physical, emotional, and mental health changes after birth
• Practical ways to prepare for postpartum during pregnancy
• How to create a personalized postpartum resource toolbox
• Strategies for building a reliable support team
• Resources available for new parents and families
Whether you are expecting your first child, growing your family, or supporting a loved one through pregnancy and postpartum, this session will provide valuable guidance to help you feel informed, supported, and prepared for the journey ahead.
