4th Trimester Postpartum Circles™

For moms + babies, in the first 12(ish) weeks.

View by location:

Mariemont, Clifton, Walnut Hills, Bellevue/Nothern KY, Blue Ash.

We weren’t built to parent nor navigate the 4th Trimester alone.

Let’s do this together.

Our facilitated, cohort-based Postpartum Circles™ combine the delivery of just-in-time resources, facilitated discussion, and story-sharing from participants.

The goal? A comfortable + supportive space to ask questions in real-time and deeply connect with local parents in the same transformative season of postpartum and early parenting.

Participants are strongly encouraged to connect outside of designated meeting times, as one goal of Cincy Postpartum Circles is to help you cultivate your local village that can extend beyond the infant year!

When Do I Sign Up?

We recommend you sign up the month BEFORE baby is expected to arrive, for a circle that starts 4-8 weeks after baby’s latest possible due date; we can shift your registration to another start date if necessary.

Who Are These For?

Our 4th Trimester Postpartum Circles are for first-time moms AND moms with older children*—we know every journey is unique. We welcome birth & adoptive moms in these circles. Babies come too!

*we ask that older children do not attend circle; this is an opportunity to connect with your newest baby. We know this is limiting, and hope to increase options as our capacity expands.

Are postpartum circles™ a peer support group?

A mom’s/parent’s group?

A class?

…they’re a little bit of all of that, wrapped in one.

Expecting later this year?

We coordinate our 4th Trimester Postpartum Circles by estimated birth month, so babies are close in age.

We encourage pre-booking, as it helps us manage enrollment and helps ensure YOU have the support in place after baby arrives (some locations do fill quickly).

Join our notification list with your EDD, and you’ll hear from us a few weeks before your due date! We’ll also invite you to a free monthly Pregnancy/Expecting Mom circle so you can get a taste of our circle format.

What are Participants Saying…

I joined Amanda’s postpartum circle after the birth of my baby in May 2022, and it was absolutely one of the best things I could have done! Not only did I meet wonderful new friends, it also helped me feel comfortable leaving the house alone with baby and feeding in a slightly more public setting. The topics we discussed each week were always timely and it was so validating knowing that everyone else was struggling with the same things. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

Ellen
"I think everyone in the 4th Trimester should consider participating in a Circle. It provided education, socialization, support, and a sense of community. It was something to look forward to in my week and helped me to build my confidence in leaving the house with my baby."

Anonymous Participant Survey
"I wish this level of support had been available in Reno where I had my first little one. Now in Cincy, I signed up for the 4th Trimester circle as a second time mom, and am so glad I did.”

Nikki
"The circle was a great opportunity to learn more about the fourth trimester, but more importantly it allowed me to meet some other mamas and share stories/experiences that made me feel less isolated in such a vulnerable time of life. I would HIGHLY recommend this to any new mom (first time or not). "

Anonymous Participant Survey
I participated in a 4th trimester post-partum circle facilitated by Amanda and it was an amazing experience. The community of parents going through the same stage of life really helped me during the painful and uncertain 4th trimester phase. I recommend Amanda’s circles to all of my friends/peers who may benefit!

Ally
"I didn’t quite know what to expect, but I was so glad I joined. It’s such a great way to connect with other moms and to build a community. "
