Rosie Gard-Storry

The fourth trimester is a tender, messy in-between — a season no one prepares you for. Days blur, emotions rise and fall, and suddenly you’re caring for your baby with instincts you didn’t even know you had. You can adore your baby and still find this time unbelievably hard — both can be true. This is your reminder that you don’t need perfection. You need rest, compassion, connection, and permission to trust yourself. You were never meant to do this alone.
