"All around the world the postpartum period is considered a sacred time. In many
cultures, women are not expected to carry on with their usual lives. Instead, they are
revered and recognized for this new journey they have embarked upon."

- Peggy O'Mara – Having A Baby, Naturally

Women need and deserve extra care during the postpartum period, while their bodies and minds go through major changes such as physical healing, learning to breastfeed, bonding with their baby, hormonal changes, dealing with new emotions, adjusting to relationships and learning new parenting skills.      Postpartum care includes home visits within the first 24 and 72 hours after the birth. Phone consultations will continue as needed until a final checkup at six weeks postpartum. Your midwife is on-call for you during this entire six week period and will provide more home visits as necessary.
