Postnatal monitoring

Postnatal monitoring is available to you after the birth of your child. Hospital birth: A CLSC nurse will contact you within 24 hours of your hospital discharge and will schedule a home visit with you to assess the health status of both you and your baby. She can also answer your questions and those of your partner to facilitate your adaptation to your newborn child. Midwife delivery: Your midwife will notify you of the postnatal monitoring available.

Do you have any questions?
