Bloom Postnatal Care
After the joyous and transformative experience of childbirth, it is essential for mothers to continue prioritizing their health and well-being. Through postnatal care, mothers and babies receive the medical care and emotional support needed after giving birth, ensuring optimal recovery and adjustment to motherhood. At Bloom, we understand motherhood is a journey that's best traveled with others. Our Mothers Haven program provides ongoing support through focus groups, mom coaching, postnatal nutrition, and postpartum coaching that complements your post-natal care. Our coaching and support system focuses on the many benefits of postnatal care such as; physical recovery and health prevention, baby bonding, importance of emotional support, and family support.
Physical Recovery and Health Prevention
The body undergoes remarkable changes during pregnancy and labor, and postnatal care plays a crucial role in a woman’s physical recovery and healing process. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider consist of monitoring and detecting any postpartum complications or underlying health conditions such as infections, hemorrhages, hypertension, and thyroid issues, ensuring the proper healing of the reproductive organs and reducing the risk of long-term reproductive health problems. During these check-ups, providers will also offer guidance on postpartum exercises, proper nutrition, and breastfeeding support.
Baby Bonding
Postnatal care recommends and fosters the bond between the mother and baby. Healthcare providers educate and encourage skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding support, and guidance on newborn care and soothing techniques. These techniques enhance the emotional connection between mother and baby but also contribute to the baby's development and well-being.
Emotional Support
The weeks following birth are often referred to as the “fourth trimester” or postpartum period. As the body returns to its non-pregnant state the physiologic changes can bring about a wave of emotions for mothers. Postnatal care provides a safe space for emotional support and guidance from a healthcare provider. Participating in support groups or counseling sessions can alleviate feelings of isolation, anxiety, and postpartum depression. Our Mother’s Haven program provides both an online support system and coaching services, helping women to navigate the challenges that come with motherhood and assurance that they are not alone in their journey.
Family Support and Education
Like prenatal care, postnatal care extends its benefits to the entire family. It provides an opportunity for family members and partners to become active participants in the care and support of the mother and baby. Family members are empowered through education on newborn care, feeding techniques, and understanding the physical and emotional needs of the mother. This partnership in motherhood and parenting encourages a nurturing and harmonious environment for the whole family during the postpartum period.
Postnatal care is vital to every mother's journey as it promotes her physical and emotional well-being, while building a bond with her baby and family. By prioritizing postnatal care, women can ensure a smoother transition into motherhood and lay the foundation for a healthy and fulfilling family life.
Our
Mothers Haven program complements your postnatal care by providing additional and ongoing support. We believe every mother deserves a space where they feel comfortable before, during, and after pregnancy because it truly takes a village.
