The fourth trimester is like the bonus round of pregnancy—except now, the baby is out! It’s those first three months after birth when both baby and parents are adjusting to their new lives. For the baby, it’s all about getting used to life outside the cozy womb, where everything was warm, dark, and snack-on-demand. For parents, it’s learning how to be human again while juggling diaper changes, sleepless nights, and figuring out why the baby is crying this time. It’s a period of bonding, survival, and a lot of caffeine. The good news? You’re all in it together, learning as you go!
