You might not wish to have a postnatal package of care but still feel you need some support and guidance which is outside of the visit from your NHS Midwife. If it’s your first baby you will have many questions and may not have family support to answer them. We come to your home initially so that we can get to know you and your baby and devise a plan of care. We will do a full check and advise you on feeding, wound healing and recovery from pregnancy and birth. After the visit we understand that many questions will crop up so this package includes a weekly phone call with a midwife as well as messaging support until your baby is six weeks old.
