The postnatal period (usually defined as the first six weeks after birth) is an important time, during which you begin a process of physical and psychological recuperation as your bodily systems gradually return to their state of pre-pregnancy. It’s also the period in which first-time mothers develop parenting skills.

Good postnatal care is patient-centred and tailored to your individual needs and those of your baby. It typically includes routine clinical examinations, screening for potential disorders, infant feeding support and assistance and care as needed to ensure physical and psychological wellbeing. Dr Gomez and his team are here for you during this period of adjustment and learning to provide all the support you need in a safe, secure and welcoming environment.
