The Motherhood Juggle: Grammy Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter Ciara Joins Tamron Hall, the USO and Motherhood Maternity® on September 21 to Discuss the Fourth Trimester with Moms Around the World
Virtual discussion series hosted by Tamron Hall covers the trials new moms face during the fourth trimester in final episode
MOORESTOWN, N.J., Sept. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Grammy Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter Ciara will join Tamron Hall for The Motherhood Juggle livestream series on September 21 at 2:00 PM ET. This virtual discussion was created by Motherhood Maternity® and the USO to bring industry health and wellness experts and moms from around the world together to build community though sharing experiences and providing support as families juggle the many factors of pregnancy and parenting – especially amidst a global pandemic. A fitting topic for this fourth and final episode in the series, the September discussion will focus on the fourth trimester.
Growing up with active military parents, special guest, Ciara will join the discussion to share her own recent pregnancy journey and the transition of adding to her family with the birth of son, Win (making her a mother of three), and how she is juggling the fourth trimester. Moms and moms-to-be can register here for the free virtual, zoom event on September 21.
During the live discussion, Dr. Heather Irobunda, a board certified obstetrician-gynecologist currently practicing at NYC Health and Hospitals, and Amber Trueblood, MBA, LMFT, an author, speaker, podcaster, and mother of four sons, will speak with military moms about the transition from pregnancy to motherhood, post-partum recovery, reducing mom-guilt and the impact and adjustment that comes along with balancing the needs of a growing family.
"Once the baby arrives, the fourth trimester begins as mom and newborn navigate the next stage of the motherhood journey," said Marla Ryan, President, Motherhood Maternity. "The transition of caring for a new baby, recovering from giving birth, and establishing a new family routine can be rewarding and overwhelming. These new challenges when coupled with eventually returning to work or working from home, also adds materially to the motherhood juggle."
Tamron Hall, a new mom herself, Emmy Award-Winning host and executive producer of "The Tamron Hall Show," has hosted the engaging four-part series, aptly titled The Motherhood Juggle. Since starting these sessions in June, she has covered unique topics with different industry experts and guests.
