Filling the postpartum care gap

In stark contrast to the regular prenatal visits one has during pregnancy, six weeks after birth, most people see their healthcare provider for their first -- and only -- postpartum checkup. This singular visit is not only arbitrary but completely inadequate for most parents who need care, support, and education long before this visit occurs and well into their child's first year of life.

​

Research shows that when clients and providers invest extra time and attention into postpartum care, clients are more likely to:

• Avoid being readmitted to the hospital for complications related to their birth

• Receive more timely primary care services

• Have their weight, blood sugar and blood pressure checked, and

• Be appropriately screening for mood disorders

 

Mother Wit's postpartum care options fill the gaps in our healthcare system and provides families with the postpartum care they need and deserve!
