The midwife and birth assistant will remain with the family for 3-6 hours postpartum ensuring that the mother & baby are medically stable. During this time the midwife will monitor vital signs and bleeding, repair any lacerations, support breastfeeding initiation, and perform a newborn physical examination. Prior to leaving, the midwife will review warning signs and provide education for healing and recovery.
Postpartum home visits take place at one day, one week, three weeks, and six weeks after the birth. Clients continue to have access to the midwife 24/7 via phone, text or email during the 6 week postpartum period.
