Pregnancy care
After the birth
A gentle first visit once your physician or midwife says you are ready.
For people who are recovering and want to come in at their own pace. We wait for your say-so, and we make a visit short enough to fit around a baby.
What to expect
What a visit includes
A talk, a short exam and guidance on carrying and feeding positions, and light adjusting only if you want it.
Short visits that fit around feeding and sleep
Carrying and feeding positions
Light adjusting, only if you want it
How long and how often
Most people wait until their postpartum check says they can. Dr. Das sets a plan with you after the exam. We do not promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
We make no claims about how your body recovers, and none about conditions in you or in your baby. Results vary.
When to see your midwife or physician first
Wait for the go-ahead from your midwife or physician, and call them first about heavy bleeding, fever, a swollen or painful calf, chest pain or any sign that worries you.
At the counter, with an itemized receipt. Some plans pay part of it; the plan decides.
Questions about this care
When can I come in?
When your midwife or physician says you can. If you are not sure, ask them at your postpartum check.
Can I bring my baby?
Yes. Your baby can come with you, and visits are planned around feeding and sleep. We do not treat babies in a visit for you.
Will it hurt?
Most people feel pressure and movement, not pain, and some feel sore the next day. Pregnancy changes how you lie down, so we use side-lying and pillow positions and keep adjustments light. Tell us at any point and we change what we are doing.
Book when you are ready
There is no hurry.
- A sudden severe headache or neck pain, dizziness, trouble speaking or seeing, new weakness or numbness, numbness in the groin or saddle area (between the legs and buttocks), or new bladder or bowel trouble needs emergency care now. Call 911 or go to an emergency room.
