Abstract
At your prenatal visits, your pregnancy was probably measured in 3 trimesters over the last 40 weeks. What you may not know, is there is another trimester after delivery. The 12 weeks immediately following birth is sometimes referred to as the “4th trimester”. This is a time for women to physically heal and adjust to taking care of a new baby. Many changes occur during this time for both mom and baby.
