Postpartum Care
Redefining community in relationship to the 4th trimester
"I come to you by stone by antler and bone. by crows feet of laughter striations of tears
weathered contours of your body a landscape of life.
I'll come to you by stone by antler and bone by power of wildfire rising across your naked hills howling lost love keening long labyrinth of night.
I'll come to you by stone by antler and bone ancient rhythm of women the heartbeat of the herd.
I'll come to you by stone by antler and bone
to lead you through the blackness and return you to the light. "
Jane Briedson, Path of the Ancestral Mothers
The period of 12 weeks after birth is considered the 4th trimester. During this time a woman is at her most open and most vulnerable emotionally and physically.
Around the world, different cultures support this 4th trimester in different ways in order to support and nourish women during this time of vulnerability and to honor this threshold that she has crossed from maiden to mother in some cases, but also to honor the very important act of bringing life into this world and sustaining the human race and supporting communities in their growth and continuation.
In many cultures, matriarchy is celebrated and encouraged, centering villages and power around the eldest woman. And this is because of a woman’s ability to sustain and provide life for her community.
What does it look like for a woman to be nourished during her 4th trimester?
Celebrating, honoring and nourishing life for the generations to come.
