how much should you be spending on a sewing machine we are diving into that
question and welcome to the Sewing Report I'm Jennifer Moore helping you discover
your love of sewing crafts and DIY projects and it is the ultimate question
for the beginner Sohus seamstress how much should you spend on your first
sewing machine and I'm here to tell you that's kind of a trick question because
it's gonna be different for everybody so when I started out sewing I didn't know
anything I didn't really know what I was doing I ended up buying like a vintage
sewing machine that wasn't exactly use our friendly beautiful machine though
although I haven't only used it in a while and then I ended up getting a kind
of an entry-level computerized brother machine the SC 400 great machine and I
will link all of the sewing machines I can below that I own or that I recommend
so and I've also done a few other videos and live shows about sewing machines so
if you'd like to check those out I will also link the playlist I currently own
five sewing machines so started off with the brother and then after I kind of
outgrew that I ended up giving it away I own a vintage Singer 201 to a never
sewn sparrow 25 which is definitely a great entry level budget machine
I dropped the way too much money on this Janome 7700 and I will go into that I
also have a sailrite zigzag machine and then I have the Brother
serger the Brother 10 34d serger some of these machines serve different purposes
so in my opinion I think it's good to have unit askers I'm kind of lazy and I
don't like switching on a lot of stuff so I really prefer to like a separate
serger sewing machine if I ever get an embroidery machine it's gonna be a
separate unit and I I borrowed a cover stitch machine from pink castle fabrics
a while back to do some videos and I would prefer having two separate
machines versus like a serger cover stitch combo just cuz I just hate
switching stuff out you have to change the thread like it's just such a pain in
the butt I don't know so you're probably wondering if you're
just starting or if you don't own a sewing machine how do you figure out
what to buy how much should you spend and do you really need like one of those
fancy expensive sewing machines I was talking to a friend a while ago it was
actually a guy and he was like do you like those fancy ones he's like are
those really necessary and I think that's a good question there are so many
brands of sewing machines and over the years I've you know learned a little
little bit about some of them but to the person coming in from the outside you
know you don't know all the brains in fact I talked to a lot of my friends and
they said they'd only really heard of singer and brother they weren't really
aware of like the Bernina is even not even the genome ease in some cases they
didn't know thoth or like Husqvarna Jiu key for sure you know people unfamiliar
with this world they just don't know any of that and it's I see it sort of as
like a chicken and egg scenario of course you have to have a sewing machine
in order to start sewing but if someone doesn't so what's gonna get them to buy
and start using a sewing machine if they're not into it and one thing I
think would help I've seen a lot of classes being offered by like sewing
machine dealers or like other types of sewing businesses and I see one thing on
the registration or the information that I think kind of deters people and that
for many of the classes I've seen advertised is that the person already
has to have a sewing machine and bring it to class now if you're someone and
you you don't know if you like sewing and you want to take a class on it are
you gonna buy a hundred or 200 or 300 dollar machine to take a class you don't
know if you're gonna like on a subject you don't know if you're gonna be hot on
or not either so I can definitely see why someone who's kind of interested in
sewing maybe that's you would be a little bit dissuaded or like you know am
I really gonna drop 300 bucks on something only to find out you don't
like it here's the other caveat I know a lot of you in the sewing community see
machines under like a hundred dollars being throwaway machines meaning
if they break or something goes wrong with them they're not worth getting
fixed you should just throw it away because the repair cost would be more
than it would to just get a new sewing machine and the other thing I've heard
about some of these lower end machines is that they're not very good use again
I've heard mixed things and I think some I've seen some great reviews on some
models that are under a hundred and fifty dollars so and I personally had a
good experience with a machine that was under four hundred dollars this one is
certainly under 400 bucks and this one I paid I really I paid $2,500 for this
about three to four years ago do I think it's a great sewing machine yes I do do
I think that the difference between this one and the ever sown is worth 20 what
twenty one hundred dollars I would have to say no and I would say if you're
looking at the Janome like memory like the Janome home series I think a great
less expensive option is the Janome skyline series and I will link one below
I think they have they have like the large throat space that if you're a
quilter might be good but they also have a lower price of about a thousand some
of them are about a thousand dollars they can go up a little bit as well but
I think compared to $2,500 there's a few more bells and whistles this one has but
is it worth the extra $1,500 probably not
in fact I spent $1,200 on like the premium sail bright zigzag machine
package to be honest with you I haven't only used it I know that sounds terrible
still trying to figure out what to do with it
but that's what I meet about not buying too much machine or one where you you
know you haven't tried it out or you don't know if it's for you again that's
a lot of money to spend that's something that you that you never use on the other
hand if you are curious about sewing but you don't want to buy a machine what do
you do in order to get access to one to figure out if you're gonna like it so
here are some recommendations try to find a local sewing class or sewing
studio or a lesson or a workshop where the machine
is provided these can be a little bit more rare but I'm seeing them pop up
every once in a while I think more businesses need to do that though
because you have to understand that the target customer you want the person who
doesn't sew but wants to probably doesn't already own a machine so if you
can provide them with a you know starter one like a two hundred dollar one that's
easy to use they might be like wow this is actually pretty cool I like sewing
the machines pretty easy to use not very frustrating I'll buy one but if they
never get to use it how are they gonna know if they like it so going to a class
or trying to check something like that out might be a good way for you to test
drive your machines you can also of course go to a sewing machine dealer and
try to see if they will let you try out the different models but again if you
here's the thing about getting into sewing though when you're buying a
machine and you're not sure what you want to sew I think it's really
difficult for you to make a decision based on a lack of knowledge because if
you get into sewing and you find you like quilting but you don't want to make
clothes I would make a different sewing machine recommendation to you versus if
you were doing clothing or garments or dress making so I think that's one
reason why if you're new to it I might wait to buy machine until you figure out
what do you want to sew with it how hardcore do you want to get with it if
you have a friend or friends with sewing machines I would also recommend trying
to see if they'll let you come over to the house and try out their machine I
would also recommend if you can try out different makes and models don't just go
to one store and be like Oh Baby Lock these are cool that's it test them all
out try out Janome use trout ever sons brothers singers fox Husqvarna marinas
dukey's sale rights like honestly get to sit down and in front of it in front of
as many machines as you can because each brand might feel different or so some
people loved you know me some people hate them some people have loyalty to
different brands and you need to figure out what machine
you feel the most comfortable comfortable with and has the features
you want so if you have a friend who sews see if you can try out the machine
I'm sure they would be happy to let you do that because let's be honest people
who so want more people to so another thing you can do is try to seek out
sewing conventions or Expos in your area there's one called the original sewing
Expo Abilene Expo again all links I'm gonna include as many links as I
possibly can they have workshops you can take classes where they're in sponsored
studios so for instance I've gotten to tryout Bernina x' baby locs all kinds of
different machines just because I signed up for a particular workshop and you get
to really see what these machines are like and you also get an extended period
of time to try them out so I've taken a few three-hour workshops and you get
three hours with the machine to see how you feel about it I've got to try out
like a six thousand dollar baby lock Ovation serger again not something I'm
gonna buy because I don't want to spend six thousand dollars but it was cool to
try out and I got to see what it was like just to use that particular type of
machine so if you are trying to figure things out and you don't know where to
go that's what I would recommend either go to a sewing machine dealer go and go
to more than one go to several different dealerships and see if you like them
again you can because most of the people I know who gets so machines now they're
either at Costco or like sam's club they see a machine and they just buy it
without like really doing any research or they go like me you know I go on
Amazon for everything and I look for good ratings there are other things you
can do to try out sewing machines so that because again it is kind of a big
purchase to commit to even a hundred bucks for people is a lot of money and
there are ways that you can actually try out these machines so sewing machine
dealers friends look for classes in your area where the sewing machine is
provided or like sewing Expos or sewing conventions great places to be able to
actually test drive these machines and kind of see them out in the wild so some
other thoughts I've got about sewing machines now this one the retail price
is about four hundred dollars I have been very impressed with the performance
of the ever sewn sparrow twenty-five I've been using it for over a year and
it's not failed I've never I've not had any issues with it in fact I've never
had a sewing machine that needed to be repaired
maybe it's just me I do so quite a bit but I even my like cheapo Brother serger
that was 200 bucks haven't had a single issue with it so maybe I've been very
lucky but also don't think hey this is gonna need to be serviced all the time
cuz I want to be honest with you I haven't had any real problems with it by
now you're probably thinking general how much should I drop specifically on a
sewing machine I would say it depends on your budget how much you enjoy sewing
what you need to do with the machine if you're just doing real basic stuff you
could certainly get away with getting like an under $200 machine from Brother
for sure if again you're a sporadic Sohus tanned you just want to do simple
stuff if you want to start doing like hardcore quilting you may want to look
in like the Janome skyline series if you're super hardcore and you want to do
long arm quilting those are gonna run you about twenty to thirty thousand
dollars but I would definitely say look at reviews you want a machine that is
fairly decent quality look for metal parts versus plastic also look at
reviews talk to people people about what they like and also think about what
features do you want now here's my caveat I am very averse to debt and
I am a very much a living below your means kind of gal so here on the sewing
report I've decided that I'm not going to do I'm not gonna try to encourage you
or promote doing anything that I wouldn't do and that is going into debt
so I know a lot of sewing machine dealers offer financing I wouldn't go
down that road personally if you do or if you don't have a problem with that
again there's no judgment you can make up your own mind but I see sewing
machines even though I love sewing obviously I still see this as a bit of a
bit of a luxury this is not a necessity I can survive like if I was stuck on a
deserted island and I didn't have a sewing machine you know I I would I
would be able to live probably not not very happily but I would be able to live
so I don't want to promote you doing anything that would wreck your financial
future and a financing a sewing machine if you don't have the cash for it if if
it's me I'm not buying it because I want I want to pay for things in cash so
that's my personal philosophy if you disagree that's totally okay we can't
agree on every single thing under the Sun and I totally understand that but I
just wanted to share my stance with you and kind of why I go that route because
a sewing machine if you if I don't have the money for it I'm just I'm just and
that's my philosophy with everything if I don't have the money for it
I'm not doing it we have decided to not really pay for anything with financing
that includes cars we have no car payments and we recently got out of debt
we don't really want to go back into debt so that's why that's not something
I personally encourage and I'm sorry sewing machine dealers I know you guys
all offer financing but you know this is just my you know personal moral compass
here and I just can't I I can't in all good faith tell you to do something that
I wouldn't do so you won't see that over here here at the sewing report I also
don't discriminate against any particular sewing machine manufacturer I
will talk about any brain from Janome to ever sewn to singer jukey sailrite i'm
if curious to try all of them just because I I think there was different
things to like about each one so I am NOT one of those brand snobs and I've
encountered them in the wild a little bit and sometimes that can be a little
bit frustrating I understand that you might really love something but that
doesn't always mean it's right for someone else or that the other person
might feel that same way about a certain sewing machine maker that you that you
do so I also want to encourage you if you are trying to help someone buy a
sewing machine or you're trying to buy a sewing machine
don't let that influence you just because someone else is like you should
only buy this particular brand you know what you got to figure that out for
yourself so I am not particularly brand loyal to anyone I will talk about
different makers I'll talk about whoever because you know what I don't have any
exclusive deals anyways I hope you enjoyed this video about sewing machines

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MAKE A DISNEY MOVIE? - Duration: 6:55.

Here is a simple technique to understand how much a property is worth - Duration: 3:31.
- So you're looking to invest in the property market
but you're just not sure how much the properties are worth.
Well keep watching because I'm about to show you a technique
on how to determine real market value
and the three qualities that you should be looking for.
(dramatic music)
Hi everybody, Josh Masters here
and the other day I was teaching at a seminar
and one of the biggest questions that was coming up
or one of the biggest hurdles
that the group was facing
was really understanding the values of the properties
they were looking at on the market.
What were they really worth?
Now, if you're looking an area long enough
you'll probably start to get a natural feel for the place
and you'll start to see what the prices are
that are coming up each and every week.
But what happens when you don't have time
to inspect 10 properties every weekend
or it's an out of area purchase?
So as a regular investor,
one of the things that I like to use
is the sold section on realestate.com.au
and the sold section can be a,
it's actually a little tab up the top
next to buy and rent.
Now, what you want to be doing is comparing
the similar properties
that you've been looking at
to what's been sold recently.
This is how the valuers do it themselves
when they're working for the banks.
Now you want to make sure
that you're comparing similar configurations.
So for example if you're looking at three bedroom houses,
make sure you're putting in three bedroom houses,
with parking or whatever it is
to make sure you're getting that true comparable.
Now once you're there I want you to compare three things.
The first one is location.
Are you comparing a property that's in a similar location
to the one you're looking at
or is it on a main road?
Or in a terrible part of the neighbourhood?
You want to make sure that they're comparable,
so make sure they're in comparable locations.
The second one is size.
Are they similar sizes?
And I'm talking about either land, for houses
that's very important.
Or for units, are you talking about
a 60 square metre unit, or an 80 square metre unit?
Make sure they're comparable.
You also want to make sure that you're comparing
the newest sales and you can do that
by a drop down that says, date, newest to oldest.
Now the third and final category
is comparing the condition.
And that's both internally and externally.
Are you comparing something that's renovated?
Or are you comparing something that's just a dump?
And a bit of a knockdown.
These are three of the critical things
that you need to look at when you're comparing
like for like properties to get a real good gauge
on where the market value sits
for the properties that are on sale today
versus what has just sold.
You can also look at things like,
does it have a view?
Is the architectural quality the same?
Is there an upstairs, downstairs configuration?
You can go into all these minute details if you like
but they're the three main categories
that you should be looking at
and that will give you a really good gauge
on the value that you should be paying today.
If you have any question around this
or would like to ask more,
just drop me a line.
My name's Josh Masters and you've been watching

Sarah Ferguson: 20 years after her divorce how much is Sarah Ferguson actually worth? - Duration: 4:40.
One of the most famous royal divorcees of all time, Sarah Ferguson, 58, was married to the Queen's son, Prince Andrew for 10 years
Married in 1986 in a lavish ceremony held at Westminster Abbey, over 100,000 people gathered to watch the new Duke and Duchess of York share that famous kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
The two met when they were both children, but their romance was kindled by the late Princess Diana, who invited Sarah to a Ascot races after-party held at Windsor Castle
The Prince and Fergie began dating the same week, with the engagement following very soon
But with 22 years having passed since the couple's divorce, how much is the Duchess of York worth in her own right?According to celebrity intelligence website TheRichest.com, flame-haired Fergie is worth around $1 million, which is approximately £751,000
Since her divorce in 1996, the Duchess has kept her name in the public eye, now known as a writer, public speaker, charity patron, brand ambassador and television personality
Along with holding celebrity status, Sarah has worked with many brands over the years including British fine china and porcelain company, Wedgwood and cosmetics giant, Avon
Fergie has also held a decade-long endorsement with Weight Watchers, no doubt contributing to her $1 million net worth
The mother-of-two has also written various books including her own 1997 autobiography, My Story and 2011's Finding Sarah: A Duchess's Journey to Find Herself in 2011
She has also hosted radio shows and the 2009 ITV reality show, The Duchess on the Estate
The controversial TV show saw the Duchess journey to a working class estate in Manchester for a fly-on-the-wall documentary
This was followed by another called The Duchess in Hull.Before meeting Prince Andrew, Fergie worked in a public relations firm based in London, before working for an art gallery and publishing company
Despite divorcing over 20 years ago, Prince Andrew and Sarah remain on good terms, purchasing a £13 million chalet together in 2015 located in Verbier, Switzerland
Along with renting her own apartment in the expensive Eaton Square in London, Fergie also resides in the multi-million pound chalet
It was in Verbier that her daughter Princess Eugenie, 28, and her fiancé Jack Brooksbank, 32, met
Fergie's other work includes autobiographical books, charity work and radio work. Despite her high net worth, it was reported by The Sun in April 2016 that Sarah was selling her £150,000 Bentley for just £33,995 as she was "always short of cash"
The car was a gift from her ex boyfriend, Norwegian business tycoon Geir Frantzen back in 2008
It seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as the Duchess' youngest daughter is also said to work full-time, holding a director position at Hauser & Wirth, a contemporary art gallery in Mayfair, London
The 28-year-old Princess Eugenie is marrying her boyfriend of eight years, Jack, at St George's Chapel, Windsor, in October
Fergie will once again come face-to-face with the royal family, after Prince Charles was rumoured to have snubbed his former sister-in-law at the Royal Wedding, leaving her off the guest list for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's evening reception

How To Remove & Replace Felco Bypass Pruner Blades - Duration: 10:12.
This is a Felco pruner; this one happens to be the number seven, it's got the rolling handle
The number two is probably the most popular one, right? It's it's the same except it doesn't have the rolling handle
We like the rolling handle, right? Yeah, they're terrific. They help with carpal tunnel and also developing calluses on your hands
it should also be mentioned that Felco is really the originator of
this particular design of
Pruners you'll see a lot of copies out there, but there's nothing like a Swiss made Felco pruner
Although, still, I like the ARS.
So, okay, we're gonna show you how to replace the blades. Replacement blades - you can get them on prunerswarehouse.com
They're about fourteen bucks apiece
For both the the cutting blade and the counter blade. These pruners run about sixty bucks. You can get them on Amazon
Okay, we're gonna take this set of number 7s apart. When you buy a pair of these pruners
You're going to get what's called a key that actually comes with the pruner itself. The key has a
Basically a hex head on it for taking the screws out of the handles
You can also use the key as a screwdriver type mechanism here
So what I'll do is I will and sometimes it's very difficult particularly these
Pruners are probably a good ten years old. So getting some of these screws out. It's very difficult with a key if not impossible
so that's where a
Screwdriver comes into play. So what happens if you lose the key? I mean, do you even need it?
You really don't need this key
You know
It's a sort of a nice thing to have you can put it on a keychain if you need to, but it's not absolutely necessary
Okay, because I don't know where mine is. Okay
Yeah, I just happened to find this one. So the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna take off the
locking mechanism
Which is this particular
piece right here
And again, you want to keep your your parts separate and don't make the mistake of you know
Letting these come apart because you'll have some
Opportunities to figure those out later which isn't - which may not be easy
Then we're gonna do is we're actually going to take the main bolt assembly apart and you can see that
this particular
Stamped metal piece underneath is actually with a lock
Locking mechanism would actually interact with that. So
That's what that piece of stamp metal is below
Okay, so this is your main nut
here's the
piece for the actual lock itself
We're going to take the spring off also known as a volute spring
these are actually nice springs because a lot of dirt doesn't get inside them and
Cause problems. Okay, and this is pretty pretty easy to disassemble. You actually wiggle this thing back and forth
Until it releases from the three pins
Again, these pruners had not been assembled in or disassembled rather in more than ten years
So there you have it. Okay. I finally got them off now
What I would do in this instance is I would definitely clean all this area get all the rust off the pins
so that when I stuck a brand-new pair of
A new blade on there that it wouldn't get hung up
I'd probably lubricate this area a little bit too as well. So you can see
How difficult that was in something that is ten years old. Something that's brand-new, it's gonna slide right onto those pins. No problem
Now here is the counter blade
This one. I've already loosened the screw. That just comes out
Nicely and
Again, you can see from this screw to this screw. You don't want to start messing things up
So I I try to keep things in an orderly fashion, so I know where they actually came. So here's your counter blade
And there's the handle assembly
in this instance
I don't have to take the actual lock off to change either the counter blade or the regular blade or both for that matter
So now that Jack has this taken apart,
We're gonna put it back together
If you were really doing this in real life, you'd be putting new blades on it. This thing would be all nicely cleaned up
We're just gonna put it back together using the parts that we had
And you'll see it's all laid out kind of the way it came
Apart, and that's important because these are a little complicated to put back together. So Jack, where do you start here?
Well, I think where I'm gonna start is I'm gonna put the counter blade back on
So we're gonna do here is, remember I said, it's important to keep the the right screws
In their proper order. I also wanted to show you another neat thing which is called a a
nut
runner or sometimes a nut driver. These are absolutely terrific. This happens to be a
Craftsman and it's a
six millimeter wrench
These are way better than screwdriver
for tightening and untightening
Screws and bolts, so that's that particular piece. All right. So now we're gonna put the
Blade on - the sharp blade. We're gonna line it with the three pins here
Basically it's just a
Press fit you push it on. So that there's actually no gap in between the handle and the blade
All right. The next process is to actually put the
Pruner together with the bolt and this bolt goes in through the backside here
Like so
And you can see that the bolt actually has a square
Pattern that's been manufactured right into it. And this part of the counter blade has a square hole in it
So that that's nice in terms of it'll only go in certain way you can kind of hear it locking in there
Our next thing is to put in the actual locking mechanism itself
that's that plate that I was talking about and
Next we're going to put on the main locking nut
Screw that on
And
The next thing we can do is we can put the spring back in here. It's just a compression spring
So you literally just push on it and put it into the pin right there
Okay. The next thing that we want to do is that we want to tighten up this main
nut right here so that you get the actual proper tension of the blades
You don't want it too loose, so that that you get any play when you take the handles and go back and forth like like this
And you certainly don't want it too tight where the actual pruner
will stay
Partially closed or closed all together
I mean the worst thing you can do. This is a twelve millimeter wrench. It's tighten this thing up and have to force things
It's not how pruners are supposed to work
So what we'll do is I'll loosen this up a little bit
And we'll see. Is there any play there? Yep, still a little bit of play
I'll tighten this up a little bit more
Nope too much. So I'll back off just a little bit. Okay, so that's good. One of the things I didn't mention is lubrication
It's really important that you lubricate in between the two blades here. I recommend using
WD-40, although some people like to use grease. Grease is fine too. So
Cleaning this area in here
And lubricating is very important. Okay. The next thing we're going to do is we're going to put in
the locking
mechanism. This actually locks the main bolt into place
so that
You don't have to keep adjusting
Your pruner tension and again, I like these
These nut drivers a lot better than screwdrivers
So basically I'm going to use that right on top of here and do it nice and tight. So that's completely locked everything together
the
Actual tension of the blade is perfect
Everything feels nice and secure. I want to see if the lock still works on the side here. Yes it does. Keeps them closed
There you go. So now you're all set
You've taken them apart you've changed out
One or both blades and you're back in business
Wow these feel good, yeah
Perfect. So thank you so much for watching this video. Don't forget you can subscribe to our Channel

Serena Williams Wants People To Talk About The Fourth Trimester, So What Is It? - Duration: 8:30.
Serena Williams Wants People To Talk About The Fourth Trimester, So What Is It?
Serena Williams believes more new mums should talk about the struggles of the fourth trimester after they give birth.
The 36-year-old, whose daughter Olympia was born in September 2017, has previously spoken about her traumatic birth and has now revealed she suffered from postnatal depression.
"Honestly, sometimes I think I still have to deal with it," she told Harper's Bazaar.
"I think people have to talk about it more because it's almost like the fourth trimester, it's part of the pregnancy.
I remember one day, I couldn't find Olympia's bottle and I got so upset I started crying because I wanted to be perfect for her.".
So what is the fourth trimester?
A full pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, which each lasts between 12-14 weeks.
The term "fourth trimester" is a phrase sometimes used to describe the first six to eight weeks after a baby has been born; a period when women are adjusting to motherhood, dealing with the aftermath of birth and the reality of having a newborn baby.
Elizabeth Duff, senior policy advisor at the National Childbirth Trust (NCT), tells HuffPost UK: "It often takes new mums a while to recover from the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy and childbirth, while at the same time caring for a baby.
This period is sometimes referred to as the 'fourth trimester'.
"[This] can leave mothers feeling emotional, irritable and depressed and there can then be a 'roller-coaster' of ups and downs as the enjoyment of parenthood on some days contrasts with anxiety, fatigue and frustration on others.
Kate Pinney, a Tommy's midwife, says the fourth trimester can sometimes go on for longer than eight weeks and can vary between women: "Each experience is different and can be heavily influenced by many factors such as how you felt during your pregnancy, your labour and birth experience, but also what support networks you have around you.
How may new mums feel during the fourth trimester?
Guilty.
Pinney says Serena's comments about "wanting to be perfect" for her baby are not uncommon as parents often speak about feeling guilty for a variety of reasons, such as not feeling like they are able to settle their baby, having struggles feeding, or not taking their baby to the latest group or activity.
Lonely.
"Early parenthood can also be a lonely place, and for many speaking out about the difficulties of this time is still a taboo," says Pinney.
"Saying that it is tough, is no reflection on how much you love or care for your baby, it is just reality.".
Distant.
For some, bonding with their baby does not always come straight away and that can come as a shock, explains Pinney.
If a mother doesn't experience the rush of love shortly after she gives birth, she may find the next few weeks challenging.
Low.
Pinney says many new mums experience episodes of low mood and changing emotions during this period, often due to a lack of sleep and altering hormones.
Is this linked to postnatal depression?
Duff says if low mood and psychological symptoms worsen, it can be due to something more serious such as postnatal depression (PND) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
"Recent research by NCT found that half (50%) of mothers experienced emotional problems at some time during pregnancy or within the first year of their child's birth," she says.
What can mums do to make the fourth trimester easier?
- Remember, it doesn't just affect mums.
Parenting author, Sarah Ockwell-Smith, has previously discussed how the fourth trimester can be exhausting because newborns hate being put down in this period of their life.
"Understanding this and treating newborns as if they were still 'in utero' for their first three months of life can make life much easier for new families," she wrote.
She explains how when a mother is pregnant, the baby is in constant physical contact with her.
After the birth, the baby has to get used to lots of different sounds, spend time flat on their back rather than tightly curled and start to experience sensations of hunger and thirst.
She argues, therefore, that women should replicate the baby's "womb world" post birth, which can help reduce the amount of time they spend crying and increase how long they spend asleep, giving parents more time.

- Don't suffer alone.
To combat loneliness, new mums are encouraged to join expectant and new mum groups, which are run through the National Childbirth Trust (NCT).
Branches across the UK organise relaxing and informal get-togethers for new parents.
Many of the groups are free, while others charge only a nominal fee to cover costs.
Depending on the local branch there are separate groups for parents with newborns and groups for toddlers.

Mums should also speak to their health visitor after giving birth about how they are feeling.
Duff says the NCT are campaigning for improvements to the six-week postnatal check-up to reduce the number of mothers who don't get diagnosed and treated properly if they experience PND during the fourth trimester.

How to Value the Love of Your Life [Ep4] - Duration: 1:57.
You love your girlfriend fiancee wife the mother of your children, how much do you value what she does in today's episode
We're gonna learn the absolute best way to communicate how much you value the love of your life. Brothers
welcome to part two in our series of how to be the best man and husband that we can be. Last week
we learned that the women our lives are doing so much more work around the house and taking care of children
even after they work all day for pay. You had some homework to do. If you haven't seen that video yet go check it out.
Now, I know you value the women in your life you love them. You respect them.
You may even profusely praise them for keeping you and the family afloat.
If you're doing that, give this video a thumbs up. That is cool...
gratitude is important, but the best men don't stop there. In the Marine Corps
I learned this philosophy: that if you really value a mission or a task
then you have to be willing to do it yourself. The same goes for our relationships.
If you really value all that unpaid labor that we talked about in last week's video,
then you have to be willing to do it yourself. This week, make a commitment to identify one household chore or childcare
activity that you didn't do last week and then add it to the list of things
you're gonna do this week. Simple, right? In our
patriarchal society, power, status and influence typically go to the people who are bringing in the most amount of income and
by and large, those people tend to be men.
We tend to be valued more for our work.
If you've ever been asked to do a simple task when you get home
and you said, "but I just worked all day," then you at some level internalized this message of status and value.
But why is it that women are getting stuck doing all this unpaid labor?
Well, we'll talk about that in our next video. For now, if you believe in equality for women
like I do and want to be part of the solution, then subscribe to this channel right now, then share this video with other men
in your life. Until next time, keep doing good in the world.
