Postpartum Care at Wombkeepers
Improved Postpartum Care We (and ACOG) believe that women need more than a 10 minute check of their stitches and a contraception prescription at their postpartum visit. We offer all postpartum patients two complete visits in the postpartum period, in addition to our other postpartum support services. The first visit is a 2 hour session, 2-3 weeks after delivery, which includes a group counselling session with our doctor to better inform you about routine healing and possible challenges in the first year after you have your baby, postpartum depression screening, and individual check-ins with our staff and doctor as needed. Your second visit, around 8 weeks, is a complete physical exam and appointment addressing concerns and contraception.
