4th Trimester Investigator Dr. Kristin Tully adds that women’s emotional health is a crucial part of intersectional postpartum needs.

“Health care providers may not recognize or encourage close contact with infants, nor view infant behavior as shaping the health and well-being of parents. The concept of the 4th trimester moves the conversation forward from treating mothers and infants as separate individuals to considering them as mutually regulating dyads.”
