Alojamiento conjunto y recuperación en la unidad de posparto

After you give birth, you and your baby will move together to a room in the Postpartum Unit. The nurses and staff will take care of you and your family during this special time. En su habitación, aprenderá a cuidar de su bebé y de usted mismo.
