Postnatal Care

Returning home after the birth of your baby can be a daunting and challenging time. Care from Blossoming Bump Midwifery Services begins upon discharge from your birthing hospital.

Appointments at the clinic are flexible and tailored to meet the individual needs of you and your baby. During these appointments, support will be provided to ensure proper post-delivery recovery for you and to offer advice on newborn care and feeding. This service is available until your baby is 6 weeks old and bulk-billed, so you don't have to worry about any hidden costs.

PERINATAL & INFANT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

The perinatal period, lasting from pregnancy to the first 12 months after giving birth can be a period of significant adjustment for the mother, child and other family members. There are major physical changes, emotional changes, and often lifestyle changes associated with this stage of life. Perinatal counselling helps parents-to-be and parents to adjust to this life stage and helps with related issues such as losses, grief, trauma, postnatal depression/anxiety and other perinatal disturbances. For parent-infant or parent-toddler psychotherapy, parents and infants/young children attend together. This approach is used to explore difficulties with sleep, toilet training, tantrums, adaptation to fostering or adoption and other forms of early relationship difficulties caused by post- partum disturbances, chronic illness, disrupted attachment, separation and trauma. The focus is on strengthening the attachment relationship between the child and her caregivers in order to prevent future difficulties.

Natural Pain Relief

These impulses also encourage your body to release endorphins and enkephalins, your natural chemicals, that reduce pain. It is a safe drug-free method of pain relief that has no side effects for mum or baby. Having effective pain relief will help you to stay at home as long as possible in labour. The Tens machine can be used right up to giving birth.

*Some people may need additional pain relief during labour*

ELLE TENS

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) works by passing mild electrical impulses through the skin, via electrode pads, into the nerve fibres which lie below. The TENS impulses help your body produce its own pain killing chemicals, such as endorphins. The level of pain relief obtained varies from person to person.

Blocking Pain Signals

The Elle TENS is attached to electrode pads which are placed on your lower back, directly on the skin. The electrodes emit a harmless flood of electrical impulses to the nerves. Your brain can only process so much information at once, so your brain reduces the number of signals it will process, which in turn reduces the level of pain you consciously feel.

Why mums choose the Elle TENS for labour?

Many mums find the Elle TENS Machine significantly relieves labour pain by sending small electrical impulses through electrodes on the skin. This blocks pain signals and stimulates endorphin production, the body's natural painkillers. A key feature is its adjustable intensity, allowing mums to control their pain management easily. The machine can be used up to childbirth.
