Welcome to the most wonderful time of your life that has its highs and lows and lots of moments in between. Postpartum aka: the 4th trimester, is the area we are most lacking in the United States.
Postpartum is a time for getting to know your baby, healing from having just grown another human and learning who your little one really is. Since this time is full of emotion and the unknown – this is the time you need reassurance that everything is normal, but at the same time, a trusted provider to tell you when it is not.
BirthPointe takes this transition time very seriously, and wants you to be ready for all those emotions that are coming your way. You may find yourself crying over nothing, or even having a tough time not staring at the baby for hours on end.
We want to help you get through those times when your body is going through rapid changes and your hormones have a mind of their own. Let us help you!
BirthPointe will come to your home for a two-day check-in, and this is where we re-weigh your baby, check on the cord, obtain the newborn screening required by the state and complete the birth certificate. And all of that is just for the baby! We also provide a quick exam for you to determine how you are healing, whether your milk is in, discuss expectations on postpartum bleeding and remind you that big emotions are normal during this period.
Remember – we have our postpartum meetup every Thursday at 10am, and this gives you an opportunity to meet other mommies that are in your exact season of life, and it gets you out of the house and out of isolation! Please make this time a priority, and let us love on you a little bit more!
