Postnatal Home Visits for Better Afterbirth Care

As a pregnant woman you might have been asked by everyone around you to take good care of yourself and maintain a healthy lifestyle but people often forget to mention about the importance of postnatal care. A positive maternity experience doesn’t just end at giving birth. It should ideally include keeping the mother as well as the baby healthy and happy even during the postpartum period. This is the reason why post-delivery care is also referred to as the ‘fourth trimester’ for a mother. After birth care is pivotal to enhance overall health of mother and baby and it helps in making the transition to parenthood smoother.

What is Postnatal Care?

Giving birth is a life-changing experience and can change a woman’s body in drastic ways that’s why new mums and newborns require support and careful monitoring especially during the first six weeks after the delivery. Post-delivery care includes systematic examination of mother and newborn as well as aims at providing appropriate advice to mother during the postpartum period. If your pregnancy is considered high risk because of age or health conditions, you may require more frequent visits and enhanced care.

Why Do Postnatal Home Visits Matter?

The long wait to catch the first glimpse of your little one finally comes to an end after nine long months. Becoming new parents fills you up with joy and excitement but the journey ahead can be pretty challenging. Unfortunately, parenting does not come with a manual, you might be following several advices given to you by your loved ones but sometimes you may feel like none of those things are working for you and your baby. Having professional help for the after birth care phase becomes even more crucial because you are still learning your way around to take care of yourself as well as your little one. After delivery care matters and every family should maintain a comprehensive health plan even after you welcome your bundle of joy into your home.

New mothers should remember that their body needs time to heal. Post-delivery care will help with complete recovery. The time to recover may differ for everyone, it might take a few weeks for some new mothers, but it may take longer for others. To feel like yourself again you need to rest and eat well. Even though you might not have experienced any complications during your pregnancy, the road to recovery can still be riddled with bumps if you do not seek help. This is where postnatal care comes in.

There are a few things that you need to keep in mind when you decide to send your little munchkin to a babysitting center or get a babysitting at home service for your newborn or toddler.

What to Expect During Postnatal Home Visits?

Many new mothers lack proper knowledge on how to take care of a newborn. Postnatal visits by our home care nurses can provide them with an opportunity to learn how to safely handle newborns. Our care providers can impart advice on various topics including feeding, burping or bathing a newborn.
As mothers need proper rest, our home care nurses can also help them with several baby care duties that include bottle feed the baby, changing diapers, cleaning umbilical cord, assisting mother while bathing the baby, washing baby clothing and sterilizing milk bottles, watching the baby during the night while the mother is resting etc.
Through our nurse at home service we can also identify conditions that may require additional care and promote early and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months if possible.
Our well-trained experts can escort the parents for medical follow-up consultation (if advised by the medical practitioner)
After delivery care for the mother becomes prominent because many women may face postpartum depression or anxiety because of being overwhelmed by the changes in their body. Our nurses can help in screening for any kind of symptoms that may suggest that the mother is going through any kind of postpartum blues. They can also provide the much needed emotional support to the new mothers.
After labor care is important for recovery as throughout pregnancy a mother’s body experiences significant changes to accommodate the growing baby. This can lead to strain on a mother’s joints and tissues in their pelvis and lower back. Through the postpartum care our nurses can help the mother’s perform some exercises that can help them in correcting their posture and regain strength to their pelvis.
