Postnatal

Congratulations!!! You have become parents/you have become a parent!

After about 9 months, the baby is finally here, but now what?

There must be a lot on your mind, but don't worry. We are responsible for mother's care for up to 6 weeks after the birth. For the baby this is the case until 10 days after delivery. After this, the care is taken over by the child health agency and the family doctor.
