From the publisher

My name is Sarah Trott. I started this show when I became a new mama to a vivacious baby girl and this podcast is all about postpartum care for the few months following birth, the time period also known as the Fourth Trimester. My postpartum doula, Esther Gallagher, is my co-host. She’s a mother, grandmother, perinatal educator, birth and postpartum care provider. I've benefitted hugely from her support. All parents can benefit from the wisdom and support that a postpartum Doula provides. Fourth trimester care is about the practical, emotional and social support parents and baby require, and importantly, helps set the tone for the lifelong journey of parenting. This podcast provides resources for new parents and examines the socio-cultural influences on parenting. When I first became pregnant, I had never heard of postpartum Doulas, let alone knew what they did. So much of the training and preparation that expecting parents do is focused on the birth and newborn care. Once baby is born, often the first interaction parents have with medical or child professionals, other than the first pediatrician visits, is the six-week checkup with the OB/GYN. What about caring for mama and family between the birth and the six week doctor visit? What are the strategies for taking care of the partner and the rest of the family while looking after your newborn? Our podcasts contain expert interviews with specialists from many fields to cover topics including postpartum doula practices, prenatal care, prenatal and postnatal yoga, parenting, breastfeeding, physical recovery from birth, nutrition, newborn care, midwifery, negotiating family visitation, and many more. First-hand experience is shared through lots of stories from both new and seasoned parents. Hear what other parents are asking and what they have done in their own lives. We reference other podcasts, internet resources and real-life experts who can help you on your own parenting journey. Visit our site at https://fourthtrimesterpodcast.com/ We hope you have a well-resourced and enjoyable experience as new parents. Sarah Trott & Esther Gallagher xo

S1 Ep 162Postpartum Recovery Support Through the Sacred Window

We are covering fourth trimester fundamentals with this conversation and talking about what is needed in the first few weeks and months after birth. We're looking at postpartum recovery support through the lens of Ayurvedic practices and introducing the concept of the "sacred window".Most parents prepare for birth, but far fewer are prepared for what comes after. The early postpartum period is often when families feel the most depleted and unsupported.In this episode, we explore postpartum recovery support through honoring the sacred window, an Ayurvedic framework that centers rest, nourishment, and long-term healing.Christine Eck, founder of the Center for Sacred Window Studies, shares how her own postpartum experience led her to this work and what modern families can learn from these time-tested practices.In this conversation, you’ll hear:why the first 42 days postpartum matter for long-term healthsimple ways to support recovery through food, rest, and daily rhythmshow to create better support systems for yourself or your postpartum clientsThis episode offers practical, accessible ways to feel more supported during one of life’s biggest transitions.Enjoy!Full show notes: fourthtrimesterpodast.comConnect with Christine Eck sacredwindowstudies.com | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeChristine's Center for Sacred Window Studies Conscious Postpartum Care TrainingThe Sacred Window Podcast Apple | SpotifyLearn more A Parent’s Guide To Building Self-Trust (And Why It Matters) | The Birth Doula’s Guide to Navigating New Motherhood with Carson Meyer | The Top 10 Baby Sleep Questions Every Parent AsksResources FREE DOWNLOAD Customizable Birth Plan | FREE DOWNLOAD Customizable Fourth Trimester Plan | Postpartum Soups and Stews CollectionConnect with Fourth Trimester Facebook | InstagramIf this episode helped you think differently about postpartum recovery, I’d really appreciate it if you took a moment to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.Your review helps more parents and professionals find this information and feel supported during the fourth trimester.

"First births for older mothers increased, with a 12.6% rise for those aged 30 to 34 and a 25% increase for mothers aged 35 and older."The continuing trend of delayed motherhood means more cases of older moms experiencing perimenopause during their postpartum recovery period.
