Postnatal care
After the birth of your baby, a team of professionals including midwives, nursery nurses, maternity support workers, physiotherapists and specialist consultants (obstetricians and paediatricians) will be available to provide you with the care and support that you and your baby need.
Our neonatal consultants will carry out a baby check within the first 72 hours following birth. This is a routine check given to all newborn babies.
Our experienced midwives, nursery nurses and maternity support workers will be on hand to advise you on how to look after your baby—bathing, feeding, changing etc.
They will be available 24 hours a day to ensure that both you and your baby are comfortable and to provide any guidance that you may need.
A physiotherapist will also see you after the birth to give you advice on exercises which are appropriate for you as an individual.
Our care does not stop when you leave hospital. Please feel free to call us at any time with any questions that you may have after you get home.
We will ensure that you receive a visit at home from a midwife the day after you leave hospital. We are able to offer an additional package of home care should you require it.
