It is important to arrange maternity care early in your pregnancy. After the birth, the maternity nurse will come to your home and monitor the health of both mother and baby. She will help you care for your baby, support you with breastfeeding, and temporarily take over some household tasks. She also keeps a record for us.
Maternity care is spread out over several days, with the nurse present for a few hours each day. We cannot do our work properly without good maternity care.
