If you had Pre-conception preparation and Healthy Pregnancy care, then the post-partum time should be relatively smooth sailing.
Post-Partum care is focused on three main areas:
Making sure all products of pregnancy have been properly expelled from the uterus. This is essential as any retained products can lead to chronic gynaecological issues later in life.
Establishing lactation.
Recovering mums physical (and consequently mental/emotional) strength.
There are clear guidelines for the first 40 days post-birth, that when followed, allow for the restoration of mums vitality, establishment of breastfeeding, bonding to the new child, and correct familial relationships, all of which give the greatest potential start for the entire family.
If you need any assistance at all in this vital time, book an initial consultation.
