The postpartum period—that famous “fourth trimester” we’re finally talking about openly.
A time as intense as pregnancy itself, marked by physical and emotional upheavals
… yet still too often misunderstood.

At MotherStories, we want to shed light on this reality and provide you with the best possible support
. That’s why we co-created this guide,
, with the team at the Saint-Jean Perinatal Center | Midwives in Geneva
