Fourth trimester support package
The first few weeks after your baby is born are often the most challenging and emotional for you and your family. During this transformative stage, Jo will come to your house and help you ease into your new roles as a parent.
This is for the person who delivered with another provider but would prefer to see Jo for follow-up postpartum care. This package offers four postpartum visits (two in-home, two in office) and communication via text, email, or phone to our midwives until 12 weeks postpartum.
Midwifery care after your baby is born
Jo will come to your house a few days after you get home from the hospital, and then again the following week. She will stay in touch by text and email 24/7. The last two postpartum visits are in her office around 6 and 12 weeks postpartum.
AT THESE VISITS you will expect:
emotional support and a space to share your birth story and experience
nutrition advice during the 4th trimester
herbs and teas to help encourage lactation
a homemade herbal sitz bath for perineal healing
post CS and vaginal laceration tips for recovery
prescriptions as needed
lactation guidance & breast health advice
general new baby advice and guidance
blood pressure or incision checks at home
birth control options if desired
pap smear, blood work, or cultures at the in office visit
