The Birth of the Fourth Trimester Company

CONCEPTION 

Hi, My name is Alice and I am the Owner and Creator of The Fourth Trimester Company. 

BIRTH

After the birth of my beautiful Daughter; Phoebe, I struggled with Post-Natal Anxiety and found that looking after my daughter consumed my Life, Mental Health and Body.

In the Postpartum or the 'Fourth Trimester' stage; I found that I would forget to eat or drink for hours. As the saying goes, 'You can't pour from an empty cup' and during this time, I couldn't relate to this quote more; Especially as this really affected my milk supply, meaning that Phoebe, also suffered. 

'Happy, Healthy Mum = Happy, Healthy Baby

At the time, I looked online to try and find a journal, where I could write down all my night feed thoughts, emotionally check in with myself and be able to share how I was feeling with my Midwife or Doctor.

I recently reflected on this time; trying to remember those early days as a new mum and everything is extremely blurred- very similar to how you feel during the Fourth Trimester. 

Initially, I wanted to create a Journal where new parents can create a memoir their child, and those early days whilst still looking cute, chic and minimal on the coffee table- which is where The Fourth Trimester Journal was born. 

DEVELOPMENT 

Over the past few months, the initial idea of the journal has grown and developed into a wider Fourth Trimester brand- A small business that focuses on Gifts for parents to be and New parents-  From conception to Gender Reveals, Birth, Postpartum through to Toddler.
