Hello! We're The Fourth Trimester Postpartum CIC (or The Fourth, as we like to call ourselves). Based in Newton Abbot, Devon, we're a non-profit dedicated to supporting mothers, postpartum people, and their families as they navigate life after birth.
We know that life with a new baby can feel like a lot. From utter joy to complete overwhelm, parenthood can be wild.
At The Fourth, we're a community-led peer support organisation that aims to support new families in Teignbridge and beyond to settle into family life and thrive.
We offer a range of parent and baby groups focused on the first year after birth.
Whether you have a newborn and want to connect with others, or you're interested in supporting your baby's development, we have groups for all ages of early childhood and parenting.
We know that sometimes having a breast pump can make a huge difference to your feeding journey. If you live in Newton Abbot and the surrounding area and are looking for a low cost way to get a breast pump, then why not hire one of our kits?
