Bringing home a new baby is beautiful, exciting, and sometimes overwhelming. While so much attention is placed on pregnancy and birth, the weeks after delivery deserve just as much care.

At Living Waters Midwifery, our postpartum care supports both you and your baby. We combine evidence-based nurse-midwifery care with an integrative, whole-person approach to postpartum recovery, supporting physical healing, emotional well-being, nutrition, breastfeeding, newborn wellness, and your family's transition into the fourth trimester.

And because the last thing most new parents want to do is pack up a newborn and sit in a waiting room, we come to you.

Postpartum Care for Home Birth Clients

Comprehensive postpartum and newborn care is included in our Signature Home Birth Package, with ongoing care for both you and your baby during the first 28 days after birth.

Your care includes:

• In-home postpartum visits to assess recovery and healing

• Assessment of bleeding, uterine involution, blood pressure, laceration or incision healing when applicable, and overall postpartum well-being

• Breastfeeding and infant feeding support

• Newborn wellness assessments, including weight, feeding, jaundice, growth, and transition during the first 28 days

• Newborn screening collection and coordination, congenital heart disease screening, and hearing screen referrals as appropriate

• Individualized guidance for postpartum nutrition, hydration, supplementation, sleep, and recovery

• An integrative approach to common postpartum concerns and maternal wellness

• Emotional wellness screening and support

• Education on newborn care, maternal recovery, and the fourth trimester

• Ongoing support as questions arise during your recovery

Standalone Postpartum & Newborn Care

You don't have to give birth with Living Waters to receive personalized postpartum care.

Whether you delivered at home, at a birth center, or in the hospital, postpartum visits are available in the comfort of your own home for families who were not established with our practice during pregnancy.

Your visit may include:

• Comprehensive postpartum assessment

• Evaluation of healing and physical recovery

• Individualized nutrition, supplementation, and recovery guidance

• Emotional wellness assessment

• Breastfeeding and infant feeding support

• Newborn wellness assessment, including weight and feeding evaluation during the first 28 days

• Education and guidance for common postpartum and newborn concerns

• Referrals, laboratory testing, or additional evaluation when appropriate

You Deserve Support After Birth

The postpartum period is called the fourth trimester for a reason. Your body is healing, you're learning your baby, and your family is adjusting to an entirely new rhythm.

Postpartum care shouldn't end with a six-week checkup.

Our goal is to help you feel cared for, informed, and supported during this transition, while keeping a close eye on both your recovery and your baby's well-being.

Whether you're planning ahead for postpartum support or you're already home with your baby and realizing you could use some extra care, we'd love to hear from you.
