What an incredible workshop. Thank you @4thtrimesteraz for inviting UrbanMommy to present on a topic that disproportionately impacts africanamerican women. #maternalmortality and lack of access. #nonprofit… https://t.co/le1b1mPqfZ
Amazing! It was my pleasure. Anything that we can do to raise awareness about the epidemic facing #africanamerican women and #maternalmortality we’re onboard. Thank you for having me!
We also had a stand-in moderator! Just kidding ... but we couldn't pass up an opportunity to share one of the adorable babies that came with one of our volunteer mamas! #4thtrimesterconference
"Ceremonies in the 4th trimester" is going on right now! But instead of Wendi Cleckner, Nikki Brewer is presenting as Wendi was called away to a birth! Look at our Village in action!

Did you know that there are ancient practices that exist where women actually sang their babies into being? Another goodie from "Sound Healing Tools for Connecting." Thanks, Gretchen!

Gretchen Bickert: "Singing and lullabies work on the development of the brain. Hearing is the first sense to develop. So sound can't be underestimated."

Also, we so dig that Keeley was a participant at last year's conference and now presenting and sharing with other parents what to expect from the postpartum period.
Thank you for helping us plan our 4th Trimesters! #4thtrimesterconference
@AZDHS talking about the AIM Alliance and rolling this out to help reach the goal of reducing maternal mortality rates by 10% within 5 years. #4thtrimesterconference
Another protip from Jen: "From now on whenever we get into an argument, you have permission to remind me to take some breaths, may I have permission to remind you too?" Great advice at the #4thtrimesterconfernce
Jenn Hoeprich, LM shares techniques parents need to help us calm down. Talking about how how we can go from fight or flight to rest and digest. Ask yourself: "What can I tell my body that I'm OK, so I can relate more gently and compassionately to others?" #4thtrimesterconference
Overheard at #4thtrimesterconference "I love that grandmothers are here. They're speaking their truth with their daughters by their side about what they experienced as a parent. The grandmothers are healing by being here, and they are healing those of us who are still in it.”
@AuthorMoJoseph thank you for presenting! We've already overheard that your session has made a huge impact on one of our attendees! We so appreciate you!

We have some fantastic things at our raffle tables, including an accupuncture session, @fit4momtempe 3-month membership, and a new Mustang! (For your kiddos, that is)
