a fourth trimester unique from your first baby
The birth of your second child isn’t quite like the birth of your first. You have so much more confidence in the newborn phase yet it doesn’t come without its challenges.
Our Second Time Moms class covers an array of topics to help support you, your older child, and your new baby through the transition. Come learn, laugh, and connect with other moms who are sharing the same experience. We love toddlers too, but this class is just for mom and the new baby!

I recommend New Mom School to all of my pregnant patients. I’m passionate about supporting new moms in the best way that I can, but practitioners simply don’t have the bandwidth to fully provide the guidance we would like moms to have. We know they need it. New Mom School is right there to pick up where we leave off and it addresses all of the challenges with their whole-person, mom-first approach. It’s a safe haven to share struggles with a compassionate community of support, led by expert guides that empower moms to succeed on their journey. There’s simply nothing else like it. And I get fewer calls from moms expressing struggles when they’re enrolled in NMS classes! It’s exactly what new moms need, and deserve.

The postnatal period is delicate and many new mothers aren't able to obtain the support they need following the birth of their baby. The repercussions of this lack of support can have a negative effect on mom and baby. The New Mom School provides this much-needed service that medical professionals aren't able to. I recommend this community to all new mothers.
JEFFREY ILLECK, MD
OB/GYN & FOUNDER OF BEACH OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY
New Mom School provides an unparalleled environment of friendship, encouragement and education, so new moms can bond with one another as well as their new babies. I absolutely recommend New Mom School to any new mom - you need a community to not only share in the joys of motherhood but also support you through the inevitable challenges!
SANDRA PERTZ, MD
PEDIATRICIAN
The transition into being a new mom is joyous but can be tremendously overwhelming and isolating. A new mom's health and emotional state impacts her newborn's health and having the right support following a child's birth is essential for any new mom. I recommend The New Mom School to every new mother.
STEVEN ABELOWITZ MD
PEDIATRICIAN & FOUNDER OF COASTAL KIDS PEDIATRICS
Becoming a mother can be overwhelming and isolating. Having other moms with whom to laugh, cry, and commiserate is essential to mental health. The New Mom School provides much-needed community and has been a lifeline for so many of my patients.
SONYA RASMINSKY, MD
PSYCHIATRIST
Upon starting OB/GYN practice in Newport Beach, I learned about "New Mom School." I was immediately impressed by the tools and camaraderie that this offers to my patients in the postpartum period, and I highly recommend that they sign up during their pregnancy. Much emphasis is placed on the third trimester when we see pregnant women weekly. As obstetricians, we realize the need for more support and guidance after birth, and New Mom School helps bridge that gap. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all of my pregnant patients.
MARIE SHARPE, MD
OB/GYN
Parenthood was never meant to be done alone, and there is a reason behind the adage "it takes a village". New Mom School provides that "village" for new mothers that are looking for a support network. For new moms to meet in a group setting, to get expert answers to their questions and fears, to gain support and friendship from other women that are adjusting to motherhood. All of this is incredibly important. Several of my patients have been through the program, and their mothers speak of benefits and relationships that last far beyond the duration of the program. I highly recommend New Mom School to every new mother.
KRISTIN PELINKA, MD
PEDIATRICIAN
After having two children myself, I understand the great transition that occurs after childbirth. Not only is a mom healing, adjusting to hormone fluctuations, and dealing with sleep deprivation, she is also learning how to best care for her newborn child. I wish I had something like New Mom School when I was postpartum. I know I would have benefited from the weekly gatherings of women going through the same challenges. I am especially impressed with the content that they provide from lactation support to addressing mental health concerns. I recommend their classes to all my patients, and I love hearing about the long-term friendships that develop.
