Postnatal Care & Services at Birthcare

At Birthcare, we strive to provide the very best care for you, your baby, your family and whānau, as well as our dedicated staff and specialists. During your stay, you’ll have access to a wide range of services designed to support you as you transition into parenthood.

We offer 24-hour midwifery care, delivered by a highly skilled and compassionate team. Our staff includes midwives, nurses, housekeepers, administration personnel, as well as visiting physiotherapists, paediatricians, and lactation consultants—all working closely with your Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) to ensure you and your baby receive the support you need.

Our midwives are always available and happy to spend as much time with you as needed to help you feel confident and prepared to take your baby home.

We also offer a Going Home Talk every Tuesday and Thursday, providing useful guidance and reassurance as you get ready to leave our care.

Surrogate baby

If you are having a surrogate baby and would like to stay with us after the baby is born, let us know. Talk to us about your unique set of postnatal needs and we will do our very best to make them happen for you. We can apply for postnatal funding for surrogacy on your behalf.

Lactation Consultancy

If you are wanting to breastfeed, we are here to help. Establishing breast feeding can sometimes be a challenge even when you have the best preparation and the best intentions!

We have a qualified lactation consultant available to support you with breastfeeding during your stay.

If you have any specific physical concerns, please talk to your LMC and they will assess whether you need to be referred for an individual physiotherapy consultation.
