Postnatal Follow-Up
Continued Support for Mother and Baby After Delivery
At KidsHeart Medical Center, we know care doesn’t end at delivery — it simply shifts focus.
Our postnatal follow-up services in Dubai and Abu Dhabi support mothers in the critical weeks after birth, addressing recovery, emotional wellbeing, and the newborn’s health.
Whether you had a smooth birth or a complicated one, we’re here to guide you gently through the fourth trimester. Explore our gynecology services here.
Because recovery, reassurance, and early questions deserve just as much care.
What Is Postnatal Follow-Up?
Postnatal (or postpartum) follow-up involves medical and emotional care for women after childbirth. This stage focuses on:
- Monitoring healing after vaginal or cesarean delivery
- Checking blood pressure, bleeding, and uterine recovery
- Managing breastfeeding challenges or feeding choices
- Screening for postpartum depression or anxiety
- Addressing pain, fatigue, or urinary/bowel concerns
- Providing guidance on sleep, contraception, and physical activity
We also provide newborn wellness checks in coordination with your baby’s pediatrician, if needed.

We recommend scheduling a follow-up:
- Around 6 weeks after a vaginal birth
- Sooner (1–2 weeks) if you had a cesarean, preeclampsia, or other medical issues
- If you’re experiencing pain, bleeding, emotional distress, or breastfeeding difficulties
- When planning contraception or a return to work
You don’t need to wait for a problem to check in. A postnatal visit is your space to talk, ask, and feel supported.
