69. How to REALISTICALLY Prioritize Yourself In the Fourth Trimester Artwork

The Expecting and Empowered Podcast

We’re Amy and Krystle, sisters, mamas and co-founders of Expecting and Empowered. We built this business because we saw a HUGE gap in information given to women who were pregnant or postpartum. During the incredibly demanding and challenging years of early motherhood, we wanted to create a safe space for women to learn, grow and feel supported.We wholeheartedly believe in serving every woman no matter where they are in their motherhood journey. Through our professional background, real life experiences and mamas in our community, we are opening up the conversation around common issues that women experience during pregnancy and postpartum, sharing birth stories and giving women the knowledge and resources they deserve to put their best foot forward in motherhood.

69. How to REALISTICALLY Prioritize Yourself In the Fourth Trimester

September 18, 2024 • Amy Kiefer + Krystle Howald

One of our goals here at Expecting and Empowered is for women to feel empowered going into the fourth trimester! We hope this episode helps you pinpoint some spots where you can prepare before the birth of your baby to be set up to heal well and feel more like yourself during your fourth trimester experience!

We prepare for 9 months for our babies! We plan the perfect nursery, buy all the cutest clothing, we take baby courses and classes…but have you prepared yourself for postpartum? Today we will go through our suggestions of things to add to your list of considerations that may help you lessen your load during your fourth trimester.

After going through this huge transition from pregnancy to the fourth trimester, it’s important to do something every day that helps you feel a little more like yourself. We asked the members of our Expecting and Empowered community what helped them during their postpartum time and are passing along their suggestions. Whether it’s a big or small thing, you matter and deserve to feel like your best self.

If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us @expectingandempowered. As we like to say, knowledge is power, and we just really want to give more people the information that they may need on their childbirth journey!
