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).
