Fantastic aftercare at the maternity ward!

After the birth S and I got an own room, S stayed for free as long as he wanted. We picked food from a meny 3 times a day and on top of that got served te, coffe, cokies 3 times a day. People come and clean your room daily and make your bed. Specialist doctors and nurses pay a visit. Lactation specialist and the midwife for the day comes into the room regulary to ask and give information about breastfeeding. Show movies on breastfeeding and caring for babies and caring for mothers!!!. Give painrelief and advice on everything from insurance to immunisation. Homevisit as many days as you want. We stayed for 5 days in the hospital and got one homevisit from the hospital and on friday the community nurse comes by to weigh Isabella and give us more information about weekly visits to the healthclinic. At the health clinic they run classes about, babymassage, sleeping, settling a screaming baby mm. No appointment is needed just to show up!
