Join us at WithYou Talks!

WithYou Talks is a series for women* and their supporting partners on the Mornington Peninsula who are on the transformational journey from womanhood to motherhood, or planning to take that step.

Talk #6: Fourth Trimester

Join us for WithYou Talks #6: Fourth Trimester, an enlightening and supportive event dedicated to understanding the transformative period immediately following childbirth. The "Fourth Trimester" is a critical time for both mothers and their newborns, typically lasting around three months, during which they undergo significant physical, emotional, and psychological adjustments.

At this event, we aim to empower pregnant women and new mothers by providing valuable insights and practical advice on navigating this pivotal period. Our expert speakers will cover essential topics to help you prepare yourself for the Fourth Trimester, ensuring you prioritise your recovery, healing, and well-being, rather than leaving it to chance.
