As soon as your baby is born we encourage you to hold your baby and have skin-to-skin contact. Close cuddling with your baby will keep them warm and help them to adjust to life outside the womb. This is a special time as you get to know each other.
For women who have had a very straightforward birth you will be offered and encouraged to have an early discharge from the unit.
Whether you have given birth at home, in one of our birth centres or on our labour ward, we will be there to support and guide your transition into parenthood. Our team of community midwives, health visitors and support workers run regular local drop-in sessions, usually within your local Children's Centre, to support you and your baby, looking after your health and wellbeing.
Never hesitate to contact your community midwife or GP if you are not feeling yourself or have concerns about your baby or partner.
When you go home we will ask you to fill in this form upon which you can give us feedback about your experiences of the care you received both during pregnancy and labour. You are not obliged to complete this but we value your comments and can utilise this information to improve the services we offer. If you would prefer to speak to someone in confidence, you can include your telephone number or call the birth reflections team on 01296 316019.
Let us know your comments, compliments and complaints so that we can listen, learn and respond
