Postpartum: Everything you need to know for the first time after the birth

Hospitalisation in the post-partum period

During your stay in hospital after the birth, we will look after you and your baby:

• Initial examinations: Immediately after the birth, we will carry out the first important examinations on your newborn baby, including the Apgar test and the U1. These tests provide us with information about your baby's health and well-being.
• Breastfeeding counselling: Our experienced breastfeeding consultants will support you with your first attempts at breastfeeding and show you different breastfeeding positions. We help you to establish breastfeeding well right from the start.
• Rooming-in: We offer rooming-in at our clinic so that you can have your baby with you around the clock. This promotes bonding and makes breastfeeding easier.
• Personal hygiene: We give you valuable tips on personal hygiene in the postnatal period to support the healing process after the birth and prevent infections.

Baby blues and postpartum depression

Many women experience the so-called baby blues after giving birth, a phase of emotional fluctuations that usually subsides on its own. If these feelings persist, you may be suffering from postpartum depression. We offer you comprehensive support and counselling to help you cope well with this phase and to recognise the differences between baby blues and postnatal depression.
