Episode 24: The 4th Trimester: Interview with Laura Siddons
Today’s episode has been a long time coming, but was well worth the wait!! I spoke with Laura Siddons about the 4th trimester after pregnancy. The goal of the show is to explain the concept of the fourth trimester and to promote support for new moms during this sacred postpartum period!
Laura Siddons is the founder of The Nesting Place and The 4th Trimester Support Circle Program.
In this episode we discuss:
What the 4th Trimester is:
“The fourth trimester is a period coined by Dr. Harvey Karp as the first 3 months of a baby’s life after birth.”- Happiest Baby
I highly recommend his book: Happiest Baby on the Block
What babies need during this time
What moms need during this time

I really recommend that you join some type of a Mom’s group, or parents group (after all, groups are not just for moms!). There are so many groups out there like the 4th Trimester Support circle. Thankfully, many of them offer virtual options as well!
If you are interested in trying a drop-in style group, I host a weekly virtual Support Group for moms with Newborn. Click here for more information.
