The Fourth Trimester Begins Now - Growing Together
Description
Growing Together
The Fourth Trimester Begins Now
Saturday 7 November 2026 | 2-5pm
Gymea Community Hall | 39 Gymea Bay Road, Gymes
An afternoon of learning, connection and community.
Preparing for birth is only part of the journey. The early months of parenthood are a time of immense change - for your body, your baby, your relationships and your family. Yet so much of the focus during pregnancy is placed on birth itself, with little preparation for what comes next.
Growing Together is a nurturing spring gathering created for expecting parents and families in their first years with baby.
Bringing together experienced local practitioners, the afternoon offers practical, evidence-informed guidance on baby development, recovery, nourishment and relationships.
What we'll explore:
• Baby development: Brain, Body & Connection
• Recovering Well: Pelvic Floor, Caesarean Recovery & Returning to Movement
• Matrescence: Growing Through Motherhood
• Nourishing Recovery: Pregnancy, Postpartum & Family Nutrition
• Relationships: Becoming Parents, Staying Partners
Alongside inspiring presentations, you'll enjoy opportunities for gentle movement, practical tools, meaningful conversations and connection with other local families.
Every attendee will also receive a thoughtfully curated gift bag and entry into a prize draw featuring thoughtful offerings from our local practitioners and community supporters.
Whether you're preparing to welcome your first baby or growing your family again, our hope is that you leave feeling more informed, more supported and more connected. Come on your own or bring a partner, friend, family member or support person. People of all genders are welcome, and babies in arms attend at no additional cost.
