The postpartum period in some ways is as life changing as pregnancy itself! In this current society mothers are all but forgotten during this stage as they are discharged from hospital with a “congratulations and good luck” and “See you at your six week postpartum appointment”.  At Womancare we don’t believe in luck, we believe in support! We take pride in our excellent postpartum follow up schedule of 1 and 3 day home visits, and 1, 2, 4, and 6 week office appointments.

 

We will never leave you to navigate the sometimes difficult days of your postpartum period. We will be there to check on your physical recovery, the all encompassing task of breastfeeding and newborn care, and ask about how you are feeling emotionally as you navigate what many call “The Fourth Trimester."  Having a new baby brings big changes no matter whether you are a first time mother or the mother of many children. Regardless of whether you birth with us, in the hospital, or with another midwife, we're here to support you through your postpartum and newborn care stage through lactation support, newborn screenings, and well woman care. We're a friendly practice where you can truly take the time you need to ask questions and practice getting a good latch with the midwife or one of our certified lactation or breastfeeding counselors.
