If, after giving birth, you wish a postnatal visit we will be happy to pay you a visit.

It might be right after giving birth or a few weeks later. It is completely up to you and your needs.

The postnatal visit might include talking about:

• Breastfeeding – techniques and positions
• Advice regarding the milk coming in which is often the time you might experience difficulties
• Advice regarding sore and cracked nipples and/or difficulties related to breastfeeding
• A talk about the general well-being of mother and baby
• A talk about your birth
• Postnatal check
• Newborn examination
• A talk about vitamins/supplements for mother and baby
• Checking that the uterus has contracted appropriately
• Checking perineal tears
• A talk about bleeding

At the time of the visit we can also do the PKU-test so you don’t have to go into hospital afterwards (48-72 hours after giving birth)
