Outpatient puerperium
The postpartum period, or "weeks of confinement," encompasses the first eight weeks after childbirth and is a transformative time marked by many physical, emotional, and social changes. Your body is recovering, you are building a bond with your baby, and the family dynamic is shifting to embrace this new chapter. This phase is crucial for a healthy start to family life, requiring both rest and targeted support.
During this special time, I am here to provide guidance and support for you and your family to ease your transition into parenthood. Together, we will focus on your needs, helping you navigate this period with confidence and reassurance.
The cost of home-based postpartum care is largely covered by your health insurance and your local community. Your daily personal contribution is a maximum of 7.65 CHF.
