Midwives on the postnatal ward

As part of your wellbeing and follow-up care your midwives will:  

• perform several checks on you before you go home
• arrange any medication you may need to take with you
• check how well your baby is feeding and talk through the things you can expect once at home
• arrange for a midwife to visit/contact you within the next two days
• give you some important paperwork, including the Personal Child Health Record (or red book).
