Order your special post-partum guide.

The post-partum period, that famous 4th trimester that we're finally talking about without taboos.
A period as intense as pregnancy, marked by physical and emotional upheaval
... but still all too often misunderstood.

At MotherStories, we want to lift the veil on this reality and provide you with
the best possible support. That's why we have co-created this guide,
, with the team at the Centre périnatal | Sages-femmes de Saint-Jean in Geneva.
