Fourth Trimester Doc 

concierge-style,​integrative, postpartum/newborn care and lactation support by a physician ​in your home

​"A mother is born months and sometimes even years before a baby emerges from the womb.  The transformation may begin with a dream, a longing, or even come as a complete surprise when looking at a pregnancy test or gazing into the eyes of her baby, months after it was born.  Her matrescence will forever change her, whether she holds a child in her arms, her heart, or her dreams."  - Dr. Haggerty
Matrescence (n): The process of becoming a mother, coined by Dana Raphael, Ph.D. (1973).  Matrescence is a developmental passage where a woman transitions through pre-conception, pregnancy and birth, surrogacy or adoption, to the postnatal period and beyond. The exact length of matrescence is individual, recurs with each child, and may arguably last a lifetime! The scope of the changes encompass multiple domains --bio-psycho-social-political-spiritual-- and can be likened to the developmental push of adolescence. -- Aurélie Athan, Ph.D
