The emotional shift from pregnancy to parenthood: What to expect

Why the fourth trimester deserves more attention
That magical moment when you finally meet your baby after nine months of pregnancy is just the beginning of another profound journey—one that doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves. While pregnancy is marked by regular check-ups, baby showers, and endless advice, what happens after birth often falls into a curious gap in our healthcare system and cultural consciousness.

The emotional rollercoaster of the third trimester: What to expect and how to cope
Ever feel like your emotions are on a high-speed carnival ride that won’t stop? Welcome to the third trimester of pregnancy. As your body makes its final preparations for birth, your mind processes a complex range of feelings that can leave you questioning if what you’re experiencing is normal. The good news? Those emotional ups and downs are a natural part of this significant life transition.
Why preparing for postpartum matters as much as preparing for birth
Most expectant parents spend months preparing for childbirth—taking classes, creating birth plans, packing hospital bags, and readying nurseries. Yet many are caught off guard by what comes next: the fourth trimester. This critical 12-week period after delivery often receives far less attention during pregnancy, despite being a time of profound physical and emotional changes that can significantly impact a new parent’s wellbeing.
