Minneapolis Postpartum Care
Adding a baby to the family is a beautiful, life-changing moment. But the weeks that follow birth can also be a period of immense transition for the entire family. At Twin Cities Midwifery, we believe that comprehensive support shouldn’t end at birth. In fact, this is where some of the most important work begins. We are committed to providing continuous, compassionate care to ensure you, your new baby and family thrive during this transformative time. Our team will walk you through postpartum care, from immediate support in your home to ongoing check-ins that prioritize the well-being of both you and your newborn.
Immediate Postpartum Care in Your Home
The first few days after birth can be a whirlwind of emotions and new experiences. To ease this transition, we bring our care directly to you. There’s no need to pack up your baby and travel to an office; instead, you can rest and bond in the comfort of your own home while we check in on your family.
Our schedule of postpartum care begins right away:
- Phone Check In (12-18 hours postpartum): We’ll connect with you shortly after birth to see how your first night went and answer any initial questions.
- Home Visits (24 and 72 hours postpartum): Your midwife will visit you at home for hour-long check-ins. During these visits, we focus on both you and your baby. We’ll assess your vitals, physical healing and emotional well-being, provide breastfeeding/chestfeeding and feeding support, and check your baby’s vitals and weight gain.
- Postpartum Depression Screening: Your emotional well-being is a top priority. We provide routine screening for postpartum depression and can offer referrals for additional support if needed.
Ongoing Support for Your Family
As you settle into your new routine, our support continues. The first several weeks with a newborn can bring new questions and challenges, and we’re here to guide you through them.
Our ongoing care includes:
- Phone Check In (1 week postpartum): We’ll check in again to see how you’re doing and address any new concerns.
- Office Visits (2 and 6 weeks postpartum): These hour-long visits are another opportunity to assess both your and your baby’s health. We continue to offer feeding support and monitor your postpartum recovery.
- 24/7 Availability: Urgent needs don’t always arise during business hours. You will have direct access to a midwife 24/7 for any pressing concerns that come up.
- Lactation Support: Feeding your baby is a unique journey. We offer ongoing breastfeeding support and can provide referrals to trusted lactation counselors and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) if specialized care is needed.
