APPROACH THE FOURTH TRIMESTER WITH KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE

APPROACH THE FOURTH TRIMESTER WITH KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE ❋

How would you like to go from being unsure of the realities of having a newborn baby and how to care for them in the first month, to confident in the knowledge of what you can control in the newborn phase?

Here’s how my Newborn Masterclass can help you achieve that


The Newborn Masterclass is specifically designed to give you the knowledge and skills to navigate what can be an incredibly challenging period post birth.

The 4th trimester is often considered one of the most joyous but difficult phases, most parents report post birth that they wish they had more knowledge and support during this time. Often our focus during pregnancy is on our upcoming birth but we often don’t prepare for the 4th trimester. As a midwife who supports new parents postpartum and once home, I know just how important education and knowledge can be during this period. I can’t wait to meet you and support your journey to parenthood. See below for just some of the topics we will cover in class.
