Your community midwife will see you the day after you are discharged from the hospital and then on at least twice again, once between five and eight days to undertake the ‘heel prick’ test on your baby and again after ten days to check that you and your baby are adapting well to family life. More visits will be offered depending on your individual need and you can also access one of our many ‘postnatal drop-in clinics’ which are run in a variety of settings. Ask you community midwife about the ones nearest to you.
