The Fourth Trimester: Healing After Childbirth

You’ve just given birth. What will your recovery be like? From questions on how long recovery can take after childbirth, to figuring out if what you’re feeling is the “baby blues” or postpartum depression, to the treatment options for recovering from pelvic floor issues after giving birth, our experts hail from across the spectrum of treatment to give you the information you need. Carolyn Swenson, M.D., Katherine Rosenblum, Ph.D., and Jen Shifferd, PT, CLT, WCS, joined us to answer audience questions about the fourth trimester of pregnancy, and how mothers can best heal after childbirth.
