4th TRIMESTER CLASS

The first three months after a baby is born is often referred to as the 4th trimester. During this time the mother is recovering, the baby is adjusting to life outside of the womb, and the entire family is finding their new “normal”.

In this comprehensive class, designed and taught by RN and owner of Doulas of Austin, you’ll gain the knowledge and practical tools necessary to meet the challenges of early parenting and find your new normal with ease.

  • Physical & emotional recovery from childbirth (vaginal & cesarean)

  • Recognizing & navigating postpartum mood disorders

“We took both the Childbirth Education and 4th Trimester classes with Chiminh. The information was so helpful in reducing our anxieties as first time parents. She took the time to thoughtfully answer all of our questions and we felt we could truly trust her as a resource because of her extensive experience. My husband and I both feel so much more prepared for childbirth and new parenthood after taking classes with her!”
