Expert support through the first months after birth
The early weeks after birth can bring physical recovery, emotional adjustment and countless questions. You shouldn't have to navigate them alone.
Fourth Trimester Care combines proactive early recovery health checks with direct access to clinicians, giving you expert support throughout your fourth trimester.
FOURTH TRIMESTER CARE
Your recovery deserves more than a six week check.
Pregnancy and birth change every part of your health. Yet many women and birthing parents are left trying to work out what's normal, when to ask for help and where to find the right support.
Fourth Trimester Care was created to bridge that gap.
Rather than waiting until something feels wrong, we combine proactive care with responsive support, helping you understand your recovery, answer questions as they arise and access specialist care when you need it.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Fourth Trimester Care combines three connected elements that work together to support your recovery.
The Hesta Health Check is a comprehensive health assessment, designed specifically for anyone who has given birth in the last two years.

What makes fourth trimester care different?
Support that's both proactive and responsive
Most postnatal care is designed around scheduled appointments.
Real recovery doesn't work like that.
Questions appear unexpectedly. Symptoms change over time. Recovery isn't always linear.
Fourth Trimester Care combines proactive Health Checks with responsive, accessible, clinical support, giving you reassurance when you need it and a clearer understanding of your health as your recovery progresses.
It's connected care that's designed around real life after birth.
Fourth Trimester Care may be right for you if...
• You're pregnant and want to prepare for your recovery before your baby arrives
• You've recently had a baby and want expert support through the first months after birth.
• You have lots of questions and aren't sure what's normal.
• You'd like personalised guidance rather than trying to navigate recovery on your own.
• You want reassurance that your recovery is progressing well.
