Advantages: help and support from day 1

Disadvantages: none

I had an excellent team for my postnatal care however i had twins so i guess my care was very different to those of a single birth. We stayed in hospital for 7 days just until my girls could keep their temperatures , feed and get rid of their jaundie. I was looked after brilliantly by the hospital team on transitional care i was still looking forward to going home though. They kind of like to let you get on with it once youve had them and like you to pretty much do it all yourself so it was a relief to get home to a partner that would help me with night feeds. However once home i had a visit on day 1, day 3, day 5 (even though it was the xmas period) and every 2-4 weeks after that until they were around 4 months old. The health visitor was brilliant she fetched me any information i needed and made sure i was coping ok. Ive been fine and luckily have suffered not postnatal depression but they are really good at helping you spot the signs of postnatal depression and help you through it if you do develop it so dont think everyones out there just to judge you they are there to help. She even used to come out just to weigh my girls so i didnt have to get to clinic which was fab with one of them. I understand that also different areas have different schemes of care but i have to say the one i received was brilliant.

Summary: i had great postnatal care with my twins!
