Midwife appointments: advice from professional community midwives about what to expect from booking to postnatal visits!
Hey guys welcome back!
I really enjoyed this episode, we are joined by professional community midwives who discuss how they support women from their booking appointment to postnatal appointments. We talk about what to expect during your first appointment with the midwife (the booking) and subsequent appointments. We also discuss what to expect once baby is born and what checks are done postnatally.
In this episode Lorraine and Monique discuss some of the expectations midwives would like for women to do to prepare themselves for delivery and parenting in order to improve their maternal outcomes.
This also includes seeking evidence based information to increase their knowledge and confidence in pregnancy and beyond.
We also touch on some issues that some women might be challenged by such as breastfeeding, postnatal depression, domestic abuse and how your midwives can support with that
