Celebrating a year of challenges, growth, and joy.

Celebrating a year of challenges, growth, and joy.

Give yourself and others grace. Give yourself moments to FEEL - whatever the feelings are - Feel it all. Write it down. Write what you are grateful for in that moment, too.

Especially this time of year, the message "I AM ENOUGH - TODAY YESTERDAY, AND TOMORROW" can't be overstated.

Sending love,
The 4th Trimester Project Team

Welcome to NewMomHealth.com™

We envision a world where every woman receives the social, emotional, physical, and economic support she needs to successfully transition through the postpartum period and into her new identity and life as a mother. Health care systems, businesses, and society should value and respect women not only for what they bring to families, communities, and nations but also for who they are in and of themselves.
