Preparing for the 4th Trimester, Wednesday 22nd January 7pm-9pm
This event is for pregnant women and their partners who would like to find out more about the fourth trimester – the first forty two days after birth. There are increasingly more ways and means for us to engage in preparing for birth but still very little about how to prepare for the time after birth.
