There is so much preparation that goes into having a baby.
The nursery. The registry. The birth plan. The hospital bag that has been sitting by the door since week 36.
But ask most mamas what they wish they had prepared more for, and the answer is almost always the same: what came after.
The fourth trimester, the first twelve weeks of your baby’s life outside the womb, is one of the most significant and most underestimated seasons of new parenthood. Your body is recovering. Your baby is adjusting. And your whole identity is shifting. And nobody handed you a roadmap for any of it.
That is exactly why we created this morning.
The Fourth Trimester Event Plainfield Mamas Have Been Asking For
Mama & Muffins is back.
Saturday, October 24, 2026 9:30 to 11:30 AM Flow of Life Chiropractic, Plainfield, Indiana $27, limited seats
This is a small, intentional morning for expecting mamas who want to walk into the fourth trimester feeling prepared instead of blindsided. You will spend two hours with four local experts, ask every question you have been holding, and leave with a gift bag and four digital guides to keep in your back pocket when things get real.
And there will be muffins. Obviously.
What Nobody Tells You About the Fourth Trimester
Here is what I want every expecting mama to know before her baby arrives.
The fourth trimester is not just about the baby. It is about you. Your body, which just did something extraordinary, needs support and attention in the weeks that follow. Your sleep, your pelvic floor, your feeding relationship with your baby, your nervous system, all of those things are going through a major adjustment, and the support you have in place before your baby arrives makes a real difference.
Most mamas do not reach out for help until they are already struggling. A feeding problem that could have been caught in week one gets harder in week four. A pelvic floor symptom that was subtle at first becomes louder by week six. Sleep deprivation that felt manageable in the early days compounds into something that affects everything.
Coming to an event like this before your baby is born is one of the most practical things you can do. Not because something is going to go wrong, but because knowing what to watch for, what is normal, and who to call when it is not, gives you a foundation that changes everything.
Meet the Four Experts at This Morning’s Table
Bethany Lovern, MS, CCC-SLP, CBC Lactation Consultant, TOTs Certified
Bethany is a Speech Language Pathologist and Certified Breastfeeding Counselor serving families in Brownsburg, Avon, Plainfield, Zionsville, Danville, and the westside of Indianapolis. Her own son’s missed tongue-tie is what sent her down this path, and she now specializes in in-home breastfeeding support, tongue-tie evaluation, and oral motor feeding assessments. She will be answering questions about latch, feeding pain, milk supply, tongue-tie, and what to watch for in those first days home from the hospital.
Dr. Rachel Franco Chiropractor, Flow of Life Chiropractic, Plainfield
Dr. Rachel brings a perspective on the physical body that most families do not hear about until they need it. After years of migraines that traditional approaches never resolved, she discovered the real root cause and now helps others find theirs. She works with babies and mamas alike, and her expertise on how the nervous system and body tension affect feeding and comfort is a piece of the puzzle that belongs in every postpartum conversation.
Courtney Campbell Pediatric Sleep Consultant
Courtney became a sleep consultant the hard way, as an exhausted new mama during COVID who had to figure most of it out alone. She built her signature Ready, Set, Sleep Prep Plan™ because she wanted other mamas to have what she did not. She will be talking about what newborn sleep actually looks like, what is developmentally normal, and how to build habits now that will matter later.
Dr. Amy Robinson Pelvic Floor PT, Restore Your Core
Dr. Amy has been a pelvic floor physical therapist since 1999, working across outpatient, inpatient, and long-term care settings. She brings a depth of clinical knowledge to postpartum recovery that most mamas are not getting from their six-week checkup. She will be covering what your pelvic floor is actually going through, what symptoms are worth addressing, and how to set your body up for the recovery it deserves.
What You Will Leave With
More than muffins, though the muffins are genuinely great.
You will leave this morning with real answers to the questions you have been holding. This is not a panel where someone talks at you for an hour. It is a live Q&A with each expert, which means the conversation follows what you actually want to know.
You will also leave with:
A gift bag made for you and your baby, filled with things you will actually use.
Four digital guides covering feeding, sleep, pelvic floor recovery, and chiropractic care for your fourth trimester.
A list of local experts you can actually reach when something comes up, so you are not Googling alone at 2 AM.
Who This Morning Is For
This event is designed for expecting mamas who want to be prepared, not just for labor, but for what comes after.
If you are in your second or third trimester and you want to understand what the early weeks actually look like, this morning is for you.
You have had a baby before and wish someone had told you more about feeding, recovery, or sleep the first time around, this morning is for you.
If you are a first-time mama and you want to walk into parenthood with a real support network already in place, this morning is for you.
New mamas who are currently in the fourth trimester and feel like they could use extra support are also welcome.

Rooting for you, Bethany
