Beyond The Birth and Into Parenthood: The Fourth Trimester Uncovered

Welcome to "Beyond The Birth and Into Parenthood: The Fourth Trimester Uncovered"

You've planned for the birth—but what about after the baby arrives?

Join us for “Beyond The Birth and Into Parenthood: The Fourth Trimester Uncovered”, a transformative postpartum class designed to support new and expectant parents as they navigate the real-life experiences of early parenthood. Hosted by Kimberly S. Myers, IBCLC and founder of Pregnancy Concepts, this class dives into the often-overlooked period known as the fourth trimester—the first 12 weeks after childbirth—offering realistic, compassionate guidance as you transition from birth to baby life.

This class is perfect for parents in any stage of pregnancy or newly postpartum, and includes practical, evidence-based information across three essential areas:

• What is the fourth trimester and why it matters
• Physical recovery and emotional shifts
• Common postpartum warning signs
• Hormonal changes and mental health (for mom and partner)
• Creating a personalized postpartum plan

• What to expect: newborn appearance & behavior
• The importance of skin-to-skin contact
• Understanding your baby’s cues, cries, and rhythms
• Building confidence in your newborn care instincts

• What the shift into parenthood really looks like
• Supporting the emotional and relational changes for both parents
• Navigating new roles, expectations, and communication

Whether this is your first baby or a new chapter in your parenting journey, this class will help you feel more prepared, empowered, and connected.
