As an outreach clinic for The Mummy MOT, we offer postnatal checks designed to evaluate the woman's physical and emotional health and assess any potential complications that may have arisen during pregnancy or delivery.

The Mummy MOT includes an internal pelvic examination, postural screen, abdominal muscle exam, pelvic floor muscle assessment and screening for bladder dysfunction.

The main benefits of postnatal checks include:

• Early detection of complications: Postnatal checks can help identify any potential complications early on, allowing for prompt treatment and management of these issues.

• Improved recovery: By identifying and addressing any postpartum issues, we can help women recover more quickly and effectively after childbirth.

• Support for breastfeeding: We provide support and guidance for breastfeeding, including addressing any physical or emotional challenges that may arise.

• Monitoring of emotional health: Postnatal checks can help evaluate a woman's emotional health and well-being, identifying and addressing any issues such as postpartum depression or anxiety.

• Education and support: We provide valuable education and support for new mothers, including information on postpartum care and guidance on caring for a newborn.

• Addressing pain and discomfort: Postnatal checks can help address any physical pain or discomfort that may have arisen during pregnancy or delivery, such as back pain, pelvic pain or perineal pain.

• Promotion of overall health: By assessing a woman's physical and emotional health, postnatal checks can help promote overall health and well-being for both mother and baby.

Our postnatal checks after childbirth can be a valuable tool in promoting a healthy and successful recovery while providing support and offering guidance for new mothers during this transformative time.
