Episode description

Esther and Sarah return to the subject of visitors. A discussion of why visitors in the first two to six weeks aren't always the right thing for new parents from a physical, emotional-social and spiritual perspective, as well as why our culture doesn't foster appropriate support.

This episode of the Fourth Trimester Podcast is a playbook for handling visitors, including: 

setting boundaries for yourself

communicating how you need visitation to work to your loved ones

the difference between visitors who help vs visitors who don't know how to positively contribute 

how to set up an appropriate 'meet the baby' event 

why your birth story is a private experience you may or may not choose to share
