  • What is the Fourth Trimester? Supporting the mother post birth.

    What is the Fourth Trimester? Supporting the mother post birth.
    Mar 14 2023

    For our first episode for 2023, Georgia and Elizabeth share their insight into what actually is the Fourth Trimester from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective. Also known as Zuo Yue Zi, the Fourth Trimester is the first forty days post giving birth. Your hosts delve into what this confinement period looks like culturally in China and in other traditions around the world and how this practice can be implemented into your postpartum period realistically in the Western world.


    After discussing the five insights to consider implementing into the first forty days, Elizabeth and Georgia discuss how Acupuncture, Mother Warming treatment and Chinese Dietary Therapy are key elements of support in the fourth trimester. They discuss Placenta Encapsulation and why to reconsider this practice, building your support network before Baby arrives as well as setting expectations of how you would like the first forty days to be post birth.


    Your hosts then dive into how an integrative model of care in the fourth trimester benefits the new mother in addition to where to seek support for your mental health.

Dr Peric completed her medicine degree at Sydney University, and later undertook specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology at Westmead Hospital as well as Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney.
