Postpartum care
Throughout the remainder of your hospital stay, our maternity care team supports your family with postpartum care. We are here to help you begin your recovery, learn to care for your new baby and answer any questions you may have. Our team is also available to help you and your baby learn to breastfeed, if you wish.
Our goal is to provide you with the education and support you need to feel confident and secure when you take your baby home.
Additional postpartum support
After discharge, we are still here for you. We understand life with a new baby can be exciting and busy, which is why we strive to make it convenient for you to receive the ongoing care you need. For example, we offer a variety of women's services, including gynecologic care, to support all your healthcare needs.
Postpartum depression support
Pregnancy and birth are wondrous and life-changing experiences. As such, many women experience the "baby blues" after birth, which may be described as feelings of sadness and fatigue. However, if these feelings last for more than a short time, it could be postpartum depression.
If you feel you may have postpartum depression, you're not alone. Postpartum depression is common. In fact, about one in eight women report having postpartum depression symptoms.
We recommend talking with your OB/GYN or nurse if you experience postpartum depression symptoms, as they can help you get the support and resources you need to feel better. Seeking help is the first step to feeling like yourself again.
