Dear Mamas,
When we launched in 2021, our mission was simple but bold: to help mothers heal, feel, and be heard after birth.

Because you believed in that mission, Fourth Phase made a real impact:
◾Over 1,000 moms in the U.S. received thoughtful postpartum care
◾1,500 moms in Sub-Saharan Africa were supported with essential products for mother and child

You didn’t just buy a gift box. You invested in a mother’s healing—and that has ripple effects that are priceless.

The realities of running a small business have made it unsustainable to keep going. As partners, we have decided to go our separate ways, and have made the difficult decision to close our doors.

Thank you for every purchase, every share, every DM, and every story you’ve told about your postpartum journey. You helped prove that mothers deserve more than a “bounce-back” culture. They deserve rest, care, and honest support long after the baby arrives.

We’re now liquidating our remaining inventory, so stock up on your favorite products for the holidays and gift an expecting mom with our award-winning Every Birth Box.

This chapter for Fourth Phase is closing on December 9th, but the belief that mothers should be able to heal, feel, and be heard will live on—because of you.

With love and gratitude,

Marcia & Nana

repost via @instarepost20 from @midwifeangelina STORYTIME: GRANDMA HAS HAD ENOUGH!!!

In this story, this very close knit family were supporting mommy for her birth. This is the way the parents wanted it.

Momma was loosing control. She started screaming when she needed to push instead. Everyone was coaching her and comforting her. We were affirming her and nothing seemed to calm her.

Her grandma (baby’s great grandma) had enough! She fussed at her and told her to push! The room went silent on the pause.

Next contraction builds, mommy started to scream and looked at her grandma. Then she closed her mouth and bared down real hard. Baby came out soon after.

When I turned to look at grandma, she was grinning and winked at me. She said, “I knew what I was doing!” We both busted out laughing.

Sometimes we just need that push to get us over.😂😂😂😂😂😂

Congratulations family!! Grandma knows!

This Thursday, we’re back with Season 2 of Healing After Birth—and we’re starting with the Myer Krah, II father of five and host of @here4thedads podcast.

Our cofounders had a great time speaking with Myer, who went viral when he asked if baby showers were dead. During our convo, he shared what it really means to show up in pregnancy and after birth—and why so many men have historically and culturally been taught not to.

“My Liberian culture said pregnancy belongs to the mother… but that message got miscommunicated,” says Myer, sharing why he started his podcast. This convo is layered, honest, and long overdue.

🎧 Episode drops Thursday. Find it wherever you listen to podcasts.

Not on our Bingo card for today, but we are here for it. No matter who you are, every parent will wait on that child to be ready to come earthside. Dance, walk, do what you need to do mama.

repost via @instarepost20 from @meghan Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work - there was only one thing left to do! 😂 by @fourthphasebox
