Postpartum
Your care does not end with the birth of your baby.
Within one to two days of birth, your midwife makes a home visit to provide comprehensive follow-up care for you and your newborn.
Office visits are scheduled for mother and baby at 2 weeks and 6 weeks postpartum. The midwife will make sure you are off to a good start with breastfeeding and is available to provide additional support at any time.
