The no-taboos guide to postpartum!

The post-partum period, that famous 4th trimester that we're finally talking about without filters! A period as intense as pregnancy, marked by physical, emotional and mental upheaval. And yet, we're often so unprepared...

At MotherStories, we want to lift the veil on this reality and provide you with the best possible support. That's why, with the team at the Centre Périnatal Sages-Femmes in Saint-Jean, we have co-created a taboo-free guide to the post-partum period.
