Your Pregnancy Journey: Fourth Trimester

Family First Medical Group and Women’s Healthcare of Illinois share offices, so you get the best care, all under one roof.
The fourth trimester is the 12-week period immediately after you have had your baby. Every mother and their newborn baby will go through it. It is a time of great physical and emotional change as your baby adjusts to being outside the womb, and you adjust to your new life as a mama.
