Supporting Yourself In The 4th Trimester With Hollie Hauptly

The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast

Your postpartum experience matters. In this episode, I’m joined by Hollie Hauptly, doula, Childbirth Educator, and CEO of Birth Boot Camp. Our conversation focuses on what to expect in the 4th trimester and how best to support yourself. We talk about what the 4th trimester is, and why your postpartum experience matters.
We discuss realistic expectations around baby care, expectations around the birthing parents physical, mental, and emotional experience, and differences in partners early parenting experience. Whether you are pregnant, have a newborn at home, or are thinking ahead to a future baby, I hope this episode gives you some insight and tips for a positive postpartum experience. And if neither of those options are you, then be sure to share with a friend who needs to hear this conversation.
