Gigi Vincent is a postpartum doula and host of the Ready for Baby podcast; she is committed to shifting the disparity between the amount of focus most families place on birth versus preparing for the fourth trimester. A strong advocate of preparing for postpartum by investing in maternal support instead of fancy baby equipment, Gigi empowers families to focus on resting and bonding instead of researching or stressing.
