Your Guide to the Fourth Trimester: Webinar Replay Now Available
Presented by Nine Antenatal | 27 May
Last night, we had the pleasure of hosting our next Buy Kiwi Mums & Bubs Club Webinar. Led by expert midwives from Nine Antenatal, Kayleigh and Rebecca, it was an insightful and reassuring session focused on one of the most important — and often overlooked — stages of motherhood: life after baby arrives.
If you couldn’t join us live, or you’d like to revisit the information, the full webinar recording is now available to watch anytime. Find the link to download below.
What is the Fourth Trimester?
The “fourth trimester” refers to the first 12 weeks after your baby is born. While so much focus is placed on pregnancy and birth, this postpartum period is just as crucial. Both for your baby’s development and your own recovery and wellbeing.
It’s a time of major adjustment, physically, emotionally and mentally, as you and your baby learn to navigate this new world together.
Why is the Fourth Trimester Important?
This stage lays the foundation for your baby’s sense of security and attachment, while also being a critical period for a mother’s healing and mental health.
Understanding what’s normal — and what support you might need — can make a huge difference in how confident and supported you feel during those early weeks.
What We Covered in the Webinar
During the session, our midwives shared practical guidance and expert insights on:
- Caring for your newborn
