Becoming a mum is a major change — physically and emotionally. We’re here to support you after birth and ensure you have the care you need.
Every woman is entitled to a postnatal check around 6–8 weeks after giving birth.
🗓️ What You Need to Do
If you’ve recently had a baby:
Please submit an eConsult when your baby is around 6 weeks old.
This helps us arrange your 8-week postnatal appointment with a GP.
Your eConsult will allow us to:
- Review your physical recovery
- Check on your mental wellbeing
- Discuss feeding, contraception, and any concerns you have
- Book the right follow-up support if needed
🩺 What Happens at the 6–8 Week Postnatal Check
During your appointment, the GP will discuss:
- Your general health and recovery
- Any physical symptoms
- Emotional wellbeing / mood
- Feeding or breastfeeding concerns
- Contraception options
- Safeguarding and support needs
This appointment is about you — separate from your baby’s 8-week checks and vaccinations.
