Women’s Healthcast: Fourth Trimester: Policy Impacts on Postpartum Health, featuring Tiffany Green, PhD

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists calls the 12 weeks after giving birth the Fourth Trimester. As part of the Women’s Healthcast series about the fourth trimester, we’ve talked about physical recovery, breastfeeding, birth control after pregnancy, postpartum mental health, and long-term health concerns after birth.

For the final episode in this series, Tiffany Green, PhD, associate professor in the Division of Reproductive and Population Health, talked about inequities in postpartum health and policies that impact peoples’ ability to recover after giving birth. Green discussed common barriers to postpartum health, and policy changes that could make big changes in support for families.
