Fourth Trimester.

What to expect when your baby arrives. Our Midwife is also a qualified Maternal & Child Health Nurse (M&CHN) and can help you on your parenting journey. 

So much effort and planning can often go into the birthing experience that we forget once it has all settled there is a tiny new human that is entirely dependent on you. Have you thought about what happens once your baby arrives?

• What are normal newborn behaviours?

• What happens in those first hours, days and weeks?

• How do I cope with my own healing and transition to parenting, all while caring for a baby?

• How much does a baby feed, how will I feed my baby?

• Have you thought about what kind of parent you would like to be?

  Thinking about this all before baby arrives can be empowering and pivotal to feel ready for the journey that is ahead to avoid feeling overwhelmed when it is happening.
