THE 12 WEEKS FOLLOWING THE BIRTH
the fourth trimester is a time where we transition from a couple to a family, a time of physical, mental and emotional change as your baby adjusts to being outside the womb, and you adjust to your new life as parents
"this time is just as important for a mother's health as the first three trimesters, yet this is often when mothers have the least interaction with their health care team, a time when, some experts argue, mothers need it the most"
