Sobre el podcast
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

Most parenting falls into one of four main parenting styles. Do you know what your parenting style is? If you have a partner, is their parenting style the same as yours? You might agree on wanting happy, healthy children, but disagree on how to achieve that shared goal.
Discover the four main parenting styles, how your own upbringing shapes your instincts, and the conversations that can help you turn disagreements into a shared plan. You’ll learn practical questions to ask before conflict hits, how to set boundaries together, and ways to find common ground without needing to agree on every detail.
Dr. Shoshana Bennett is a perinatal psychologist, author, and longtime Fourth Trimester guest. She brings a no-shame approach to helping parents examine familiar patterns, separate shared values from tactics, and build a plan they can revisit and repair.

The first step to creating change is often creating awareness - and by giving the shift into motherhood a name, we are raising awareness about how profound the change is.
Becoming a mother can bring enormous love alongside uncertainty, grief for a former life, identity shifts, and a new mental load. Giving this transition a name can make it easier to understand what is changing and ask for the support you need.
Nurse educator and maternal mental-health researcher Kelsey Green, DNP, joins Esther and me to explain what matrescence means, why it continues as children and families change, and how a whole-person view of motherhood can help parents feel less alone.

Postpartum identity can shift how you experience independence, equality, work, family, and your sense of self. In this episode, Sarah Trott and Esther Gallagher talk with cultural and medical anthropologist Andrea Ford about the pressures new parents absorb from the culture around them and why stepping back from those expectations can create useful perspective.
Andrea draws on her experience as a doula and her work as the author of Near Birth: Contested Values and the Work of Doulas. The conversation explores postpartum identity, autonomy and interdependence, asking for help, cultural differences in postpartum support, birth debriefing, and intuition as knowledge built through experience.

Your baby's brain works differently than yours, and understanding that difference can change the way you communicate from the very beginning. In this episode, Sarah talks with Dinalynn Rosenbush about the baby brain, early family communication, and how parents can do what they can to support optimal future success through connection, routines, tone, and play.
Dinalynn is a speech-language pathologist, parenting coach, speaker, author, and host of The Language of Play.

Preparing for birth is only part of the journey. What happens after baby arrives matters just as much.
This is about how to have a well-resourced fourth trimester so that you know what actions you can take in the first weeks, months and year with your newborn.
In this episode, Esther and I explore postpartum support and how to prepare for life after baby so you don’t feel alone.
Our guest, Claudia Penate, birth and postpartum doula and educator, shares how to:
• build your support system before baby arrives
• align with your partner on expectations
• navigate the first six weeks with more confidence
• prioritize self-care without guilt
Support is not optional in the fourth trimester. It shapes recovery, mental health, and how your family begins.

Notas del episodio
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 health
- simple ways to support recovery through food, rest, and daily rhythms
- how to create better support systems for yourself or your postpartum clients
This episode offers practical, accessible ways to feel more supported during one of life’s biggest transitions.
Enjoy!

Our guests are Certified Nurse Midwife Nancy Myrick, co-founder of the San Francisco Birth Center, and Monica Levine, Board Member of the San Francisco Birth Center Foundation. Nancy brings more than three decades of experience supporting births across home, hospital, and birth center settings.

According to the CDC, women are having babies later in life. "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. With very similar symptoms between perimenopause and postpartum, how can a person tell what is happening or even know what to do about it?
On this episode, Dr Shosh explains symptoms, mental health impact, and evidence-based support.
