Care at home
The midwife will do regular check-ups at home in the postnatal period. Whether you have had a home birth or in hospital, with short-stay or longer, it doesn’t matter, the midwife will be there to help you.
During the home visit she will check both mother and child. She will monitor all necessary parameters, such as your blood pressure, uterus, starting your milk production, … She will also answer any questions you might have and assist you during this intense period. On the third, fourth or fifth day she can do a Guthrie-test on your baby.
The midwife will come to you as long and as often as needed, up until one year after the birth.
