The Fourth Trimester

The Fourth Trimester E-Book: A holistic approach to recovery incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom for modern parents

Birth is not the finish line- it’s the beginning of one of the most significant physiological transitions a body will ever experience.

This e-book is a grounded, practical guide to the first few months post-partum. It brings together traditional wisdom and modern understanding to support recovery in a way that is realistic and deeply respectful of the body’s capacity to heal.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand the major hormonal and physical shifts after birth

• Support bleeding, energy, sleep, mood, and digestion

• Nourish recovery through food and structure (without extremes)

• Recognise what is normal and what needs clinical attention

• Create simple daily rhythms that protect rest and resilience

• Support milk supply and maternal replenishment

• Reduce overwhelm with clear, actionable guidance

This guide is not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters.

The fourth trimester is a window of vulnerability, but also a window of repair. With the right foundations in place, recovery can be steadier, smoother, and more supported.

Whether you are preparing for birth or already navigating postpartum life, this resource helps you feel informed, confident, and equipped for the weeks ahead.
