The 4th trimester isn’t always the blissful baby bubble people make it out to be. For many new mothers, it’s a time of fear, loneliness, and isolation—especially in a culture where the village is nowhere to be found.

We’ll dive into what that support should look like in an ideal world and how we can better care for mothers during this vulnerable time.
