Postpartum Midwifery Care
Postpartum care with a midwife
Early parenting is an amazing experience! Welcoming your new baby, getting to know them, and starting your journey as a new parent is a transformative, but often overwhelming time. We’re here to help guide you as you navigate new parenting.
We provide full postpartum and newborn care from birth to 6-8 weeks, providing evidence-based care tailored to you and your family’s needs. Midwives monitor the health and wellbeing of the birther and baby and provide extensive breast/chest feeding support in line with your feeding goals. We ensure you are recovering physically, and emotionally. Midwifery care is fully covered by MSP.
