Episode 49 : THE FOURTH TRIMESTER! with NurtureOne co-founder Jenny Spiro
--:--
This week on The Great Equalizer, Sam reaches the point of no return, Charlene feels like a new mom, and we head on back to the most upside-down of the upside-downs… The Fourth Trimester (dum-dum-duuuuuuuuuuuuum).
Guys, your TGE hosts (Sam and Charlene) have been putting off this topic for a helluva long time. For us, the Fourth Trimester is equivalent to a big day of reckoning… That day you decide whether this shitshow was all worth it. This is when you reconsider your life goals and you wonder whether saving your money and travelling the world was a better decision than buckling down with your S.O. and birthing his demon spawn.
It’s a tough one, because looking at our toddlers now we definitely have those telltale #itsallworthit moments. But when you’re IN IT – clueless, hormonal, emotional and literally hallucinating from the sleep deprivation – it’s all just a little too much, isn’t it?
Because we’re obviously such pessimists about those lazy, hazy, crazy newborn days, we’ve called on an expert (who loves newborns) to give us some insight into dealing with those demon babes. We chat to paediatric occupational therapist and founder of @nurtureonenesting Jenny Spiro about the environmental and developmental needs of babies in their first few months earthside.
We also call on @t.h.e.n.e.w.n.o.r.m.a.l’s Genevieve Putter to chat about the other side of the Fourth Trimester (the one none of us chat about) – caring for The Mom. Considering airlines tells moms in an emergency to sort themselves out first before applying an oxygen mask to their children, we think it’s pretty damn important to advocate for the mom in the fourth trimester (and not just for the babies).
What say you?
