POSTNATAL EXAMINATION BY A MIDWIFE

At jordemoderhuset we offer an examination AFTER giving birth

The examination may include:

• Examining whether the uterus has contracted appropriately after birth
• Examining the scar after a cesarean section
• Examining the breast and nipples
• Checking perineal tears after birth
• Counseling about pelvic floor exercises
• Counseling about caring for perineal tears
• Care of the scar after a cesarean section
• Postnatal exercises

Have your partner or friend/relative to take you baby for a walk while you have the examination. You are welcome to breast- or bottle feed in our clinic BEFORE your appointment so feel free to come before your appointment starts. We will obviously refer to other health professionals such as physiotherapists and gynaecologists if we find anything deviating from the normal.

The examination should NOT replace the 8-week postnatal examination with your own general practitioner but should instead be considered as a supplement to this or an opportunity to be seen BEFORE or AFTER this examination. After the examination you will receive a file describing our findings
