Postpartum Care

• We continue to be on call for you if you have any questions or concerns during the postpartum period.
• One of the midwife team will visit you at one day, then at three days, one week, and two weeks at your home.
• The four and six week visits take place at our office.
• Postpartum visits include checking vital signs of mama and baby, breastfeeding support, weighing of the baby, asking about your bleeding, and answering any questions you may have.
• We also fill out a birth certificate, make keepsake footprints, and offer newborn procedures.
• The final visit includes a full annual exam and birth control services if desired.
• The last visit is always bittersweet as we say goodbye to our time of seeing you so frequently. We are honored to have been present during this miraculous time.
