The period directly after the birth of a baby is called the postpartum, or sometimes the “fourth trimester.” Childbirth puts tremendous strain on your body, whether you deliver your baby vaginally or through cesarean section, you need care and recovery time afterward. The clinicians at Intermountain Nurse-Midwives specialize in helping your body heal properly following childbirth.

Some common postpartum symptoms are pain, soreness, difficulty urinating, and changes to skin and hair. The sudden change in hormones can also cause strong and sudden mood shifts. If these become serious and you have a hard time escaping feelings of depression and anxiety, you may be suffering from postpartum depression. Our experienced and compassionate staff can help you manage all these symptoms so that you can feel better and enjoy your time with your new baby.
