The Fourth Trimester

What it is and How Dr. Suz Supports you.

The fourth trimester is the first 12 weeks after birth—a powerful, emotional, and transformative time for babies and parents alike. It’s not just about recovery; it’s about connection, adaptation, and the formation of lifelong bonds. At Wildflower Pediatrics, Dr. Suz walks alongside families during this season with expert guidance and heartfelt care.

What is the Fourth Trimester?

Though your baby is born, their journey of adjustment is just beginning—and so is yours. During this time:

Bodies & Identities

Are healing, identities are shifting, and relationships evolve

The fourth trimester is tender, often intense, and deeply formative. It deserves just as much support as pregnancy itself.
