April 21, 2018 One In Three Women Experience Urinary Incontinence After Having A Baby - Here's How It Doesn't Have To Be You
As it turns out one in three women experience urinary incontinence after having a baby. The good news is that urinary control is something that can be regained. In other words, if you wee yourself a little bit (like Kate Winslet), this isn't something you have to live with forever.
Women can regain confidence that they aren't going to accidentally pee during exercise (think running, jumping jacks, CrossFit, etc.), when they sneeze, laugh out loud, or simply when they have to go to the bathroom. Here's how.

February 24, 2018 Speech-Language Expert Ayelet Marinovich Shares How to Encourage Learning, Security & Confidence Through Communication and Play
It makes intuitive sense that communication and play during the first 0-12 months of a baby's life help set the tone for the child's relationship with the world around them. But how do we proactively and thoughtfully communicate with a baby in a way that encourages learning, emotional security and confidence?
Here's what you'll learn on Episode 51 of the Fourth Trimester Podcast:
+ How to support early communication - from birth and beyond!
+ How to be musical with your baby (even if you don't consider yourself "musical")
+ Tips for raising a bilingual/multilingual baby
+ Why the tools to support your baby's development are already in your home

February 12, 2018 Listen To This If You Are Considering Hiring A Doula - What To Expect With Monique The Doula
If you are even remotely considering hiring a doula to help you out after you've had a baby, we highly recommend listening to Monique Cowan (a.k.a. Monique The Doula) share her first-hand experiences in a typical day in her job. She talks through the practical offerings of helping families prepare for a birth and thrive after baby has arrived.
Monique was inspired to become a postpartum doula after her own birth experience. She saw the potential to help women in her Southern California locale, particularly women of color and inner city areas. She works with all people who need postpartum doula services and her website is moniquethedoula.wordpress.com

About Fourth Trimester: The First Months and Beyond | Parenting | Newborn Baby | Postpartum | Doula

From the publisher's feed

My name is Sarah Trott. I started this show when I became a new mama to a vivacious baby girl and this podcast is all about postpartum care for the few months following birth, the time period also known as the Fourth Trimester. My postpartum doula, Esther Gallagher, is my co-host. She’s a mother, grandmother, perinatal educator, birth and postpartum care provider. I've benefitted hugely from her support. All parents can benefit from the wisdom and support that a postpartum Doula provides. Fourth trimester care is about the practical, emotional and social support parents and baby require, and importantly, helps set the tone for the lifelong journey of parenting. This podcast provides resources for new parents and examines the socio-cultural influences on parenting.
