Fourth Trimester Classes

Postpartum prep classes are offered throughout the year and are perfect for women in their second or third trimesters of pregnancy. To prepare you for early motherhood, we review the basics of infant care (safe sleep practices, breastfeeding, etc.) and focus on maternal health and wellness. Pregnancy and birth are so often the main focus, but once your baby is born support is needed more than ever!

Dena Kutner, a certified postpartum doula and infant care educator, will lead each class and will continue to support you throughout your fourth trimester if needed.

See current class offerings below.

  • Early Motherhood Class

    In collaboration with Mother Luna, a community for mothers in Guilford, CT, we will be leading a two week course to prepare you for life with your baby!

    The transition into motherhood can be intense and includes many physical and mental changes. Explore this new chapter with other women like you, and learn ways to take care of yourself from pregnancy through postpartum.

    Dr. Courtney Edgecomb, a pelvic health physical therapist, and Dena Kutner, a postpartum doula, will offer you tools to help you prepare for the adjustment of new motherhood.

    This class is not a childbirth or infant care class; this class is to help YOU thrive and confidently navigate your new role as a mother.

    We recommend taking this class during pregnancy.

  • Virtual New Mothers Group

    Join us every Thursday morning at 10:00 AM EST for a group video chat! All new mothers are welcome to join our ONE HOUR VIRTUAL discussion about the fourth trimester, new motherhood, infant care basics and more.

    Dena, a certified postpartum doula, will moderate and offer advice as needed. Meet new moms in a judgement-free, supportive space, while also getting the benefit of postpartum doula support from the comfort of your own home.

    *You may join at any time during the postpartum period, but the earlier the better - life at home after delivery can be overwhelming and a weekly check-in with other moms experiencing the same can help!
