The postpartum period—often referred to as the “fourth trimester”—is one of the most emotionally and physically intense transitions in a woman’s life. After delivery, your body doesn’t simply snap back. It continues to change and recover as your hormones fluctuate, your uterus shrinks, and your mind adjusts to new routines and responsibilities.
At Women’s Excellence, we provide continued care well beyond delivery day. In this blog, we’ll explore what happens in the weeks following childbirth, why your six-week follow-up is just the beginning, and how to better support your emotional and physical recovery.
Topics covered in that visit:
- Normal physical symptoms and red flags
- Breastfeeding and lactation support
- Hormonal shifts and emotional well-being
- Sleep, nutrition, and support strategies
You’re not alone in navigating these early days. We’re here to guide you, care for you, and help you thrive.
