Postnatal Care: After delivery...
After the birth, whether in the hospital or at home, we will monitor the condition of both you and your baby for the first few hours. We will help you breastfeed, have a bath or shower and provide information and guidance for your care during the early days after birth.
If you give birth in the hospital and all is well, you may choose to go home as early as 3 to 4 hours after delivery. The arrangements are flexible and will be organized to meet your needs as best as possible.
We will visit you during the postpartum period to check on you and your baby, answer questions and assist with infant feeding and baby care. Usually, these visits take place in your home, on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and between the 7th and 14 day. Thereafter, clinic visits will be arranged as needed. Your final visit typically happens around 6 weeks postpartum. This visit includes a complete physical assessment and lasts about an hour in length. A summary of your pregnancy, birth and postpartum period will be sent to your family doctor at the conclusion of our services.
