A Guide to the Fourth Trimester
"A Guide to the Fourth Trimester" is a comprehensive guide addressing your recovery after delivery, detailing your baby’s development, and encouraging you to embrace your confidence in the adventure of motherhood. As a doctor of occupational therapy, birth doula, and pelvic floor therapist, the author discusses the details of your recovery that no one tells you about- physical healing, pelvic floor health, mental health, food and nourishment, returning to exercise, and more.
Reviewing this guide while pregnant will arm you with the knowledge you need to be physically, emotionally, and mentally prepared for the fourth trimester. If you're already in the throes of postpartum, it's not too late! Appropriate for both vaginal and cesarean birth recovery, the second half of the guide is broken down on a week-to-week basis to help you find the information you need quickly and easily. The book concludes with 8 appendices to guide you in everything from creating a fourth trimester plan to finding a pelvic floor therapist. There are things you can't control in pregnancy, birth and postpartum, but this guide is the best decision you can make to stack the cards in your favor and set yourself up for success.
