The Fourth Trimester
The Fourth Trimester: Postpartum Recovery Guide
A 13-page digital guide for the days, weeks, and months right after birth — built around the body and the mind, not just one or the other.
Who it's for
New moms who got the "see you at six weeks" version of postpartum care and want the version nobody handed them. If you're somewhere between day one and week twelve and wondering whether what you're feeling is normal, this guide is for you.
What you'll learn
Five recovery phases, from the first 24–72 hours through week twelve — what's happening in your body (bleeding, healing, energy) and your mind (hormones, mood, identity) at each stage, plus one concrete thing to do and a note on what to watch for.
How to tell baby blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum anxiety apart — what each one actually feels like and what helps.
The warning signs worth a same-day call to your doctor, and the ones that mean call 911 — laid out plainly, with crisis resources included.
What's inside
A one-page checklist mapping the whole roadmap at a glance, a fill-in support plan to figure out who's actually got your back, and a closing page that reframes the whole six-week myth.
