Pregnancy is an exciting time, with lots of big emotions. Support in this area may feel overwhelming, or appointments with your care team may feel few and far between. Depending on your health history, key checkpoints can support a smooth pregnancy, ensuring you and your baby are well-supported through each trimester.
The fourth trimester and postpartum period is a time of great physical and emotional change, as baby and you adjust to your new life together. During this time and months to follow, the postpartum body undergoes drastic shifts in hormones and nutrients. Screening and supporting you during this time can ensure prompt support and prevention and that you and your baby are thriving.
