The Fourth Trimester:  Taking care of yourself after giving birth

The fourth trimester is the 12 weeks following the birth of your baby.  Not everyone has heard of it, but every parent and their newborn baby will experience it.  Postpartum care is an extension of your prenatal care and it is crucial for you and your baby’s health.  In this class you will learn what to expect after birth - the physical recovery and emotional changes, how to plan ahead for your self-care and for support, to be aware of potential postpartum complications, newborn development, adjusting to your new life and returning to work.
