Physical Health Assessment: This check-up helps us ensure that your body is healing properly and allows us to offer tailored recommendations for your continued recovery.

Mental Health Screening: Postpartum mental health is an integral aspect of recovery. We will discuss your emotional well-being and screen for any signs of postpartum depression or anxiety.

Breastfeeding Support: If you are breastfeeding, we will assess your progress and offer guidance to address any challenges such as nipple pain, latching difficulties, or concerns regarding milk supply.

Postpartum Weight Loss Support: A healthy approach to weight management after childbirth is essential for your overall well-being. We provide nutritional guidance from our dietician, Aveno and he provides fitness advice tailored to your needs as you return to your regular routine.

Baby’s 8-Week Immunization: At the 8-week check-up, your baby will receive their first round of immunizations, which are vital for protecting them from serious diseases. Immunizations are critical in preventing serious illnesses and ensuring your baby’s long-term health. Our team will explain the vaccination process, provide aftercare advice, and answer any questions you may have.

During your appointment, both you and your baby will receive a full health check, and your baby will be given their first routine immunisations, with time to ask any questions you may have.
