The days and weeks after birth are such a sacred time of bonding between mother and baby. The postpartum period, also known as the 4th trimester, is the 12-week period that begins after the birth of your baby. When pregnant, it’s common to focus most of your attention to planning the birth and organising the nursey, however what doesn’t get enough attention is planning the postpartum period and considering how you are going to support your recovery and wellbeing as you make the transition to ‘mother’, for the first, second, third or fourth time!
1 in 6 couples experience infertility. The stats indicate that by 2050 most couples will need IVF. It’s a tale of thirds: Approximately a third of fertility issues lie with the male partner, a third with the female and a third can be attributed to the combination of both partners.
