POSTNATAL MIDWIFE SERVICE IN BRUSSELS

ABOUT THE SERVICE

The postpartum period can be challenging and sometimes overwhelming for both mothers and partners as they enter parenthood. I offer a postnatal midwifery service to support you and your baby as you navigate this challenging and exciting time in your lives. The service consists of home visits during the first few days and weeks after the birth of your baby, and each visit will focus the well-being of mom and baby post-birth.

CARE FOR MOM: medical history, discussion of the events surrounding labour and birth, assessment of recovery from vaginal birth or caesarean section, wound care, postnatal recovery advice, blood pressure monitoring, mental health support, sleep, breastfeeding support;

CARE FOR BABY: head-to-toe general wellness checks, weight monitoring, assessment of elimination (poop and pee), heel prick tests, feeding tracking and advice (whether bottle-feeding, breastfeeding, or both), bathing, safe sleep;

The overall aim of the service is to ensure that both you and baby are recovering and thriving during the postpartum period, and can be specifically tailored to each mother and baby depending on their own needs and circumstances. Each visit will include a thorough assessment of mom and baby, to ensure you are both thriving and transitioning well during the first few weeks.

ABOUT ME

I am INAMI registered dual-qualified nurse and midwife from Dublin, Ireland. I previously worked on a busy labour and delivery ward, and I am also currently training for my IBCLC Lactation Consultant qualification. I am passionate about womens’ health and midwifery. I can pass on my knowledge, expertise, and experience as a midwife to you.

The number of visits varies from person to person, but all visits usually take place in the first three weeks following birth. I recommend an initial visit of 90 minutes, where we will discuss the events of your labour, carry out a head-to-toe wellness check on baby, and make any plans for subsequent visits.
