Postnatal Support

Sometimes, after you’ve had a baby, you may need a bit more support; whether it’s some reassurance or help with breastfeeding. I offer postnatal support up to day 28 after having a baby.

My visits can be a one-off or you can book several visits.  More importantly, they are flexible and designed so that I am there for you when you need me.

You don’t need to book in advance and please call me for same day visits, especially if you require a visit on the day you are discharged from hospital.  You can find how to get in touch with me here.  

There is no time limit placed on my visits as it is so important to me that you are recovering well from the birth and that your baby is doing well.

My comprehensive care packages all include at least one postnatal visit.

Initial Visit – approx.2-3hrs from £150

The initial visit consists of –

  •          discussion/debrief about your birth and how it went.
  •          full postnatal check for you and your baby
  •          observation of infant feeding, whether you are breast or bottle feeding
  •          answering all your questions
  •          weighing your baby (as appropriate)

My experience of first visits show that they generally take a couple of hours. This gives you plenty of unrushed, unhurried time to ask all the questions you like and be reassured that everything is well with you and your baby.

Follow up Visits – from £60 per hour

The follow up visits consist of –

  •         full postnatal check for you and your baby
  •         observation of infant feeding
  •         answering all your questions
  •         practical sessions such bathing your baby
  •         weighing your baby (as appropriate)

You will receive a written report of your visits, which will include any plans we make. They also include call/texts/emails for advice in between visits.

These prices are all for appointments within a 20 mile radius of St Albans, Hertfordshire.  I am more than happy to travel further afield – mileage is charged at 45p per mile after the first 20 miles in each direction on each visit.

This service doesn’t replace the role of your NHS midwife, it is designed to complement your community midwifery visits or for continuing support after the visits have ceased.

Additional Postnatal Support

Your community midwife or health visitor may be able to signpost you towards other postnatal support in your area.  These could include groups at your local health or children’s centre, via your GP or other local community groups.  There may also be breastfeeding cafes, groups where you can borrow or try slings to carry your baby in and other social events.
