Bump & Além

Alojamento conjunto e recuperação na unidade pós-parto

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. No seu quarto, você aprenderá a cuidar do seu bebê e de si mesma.

O que é a Unidade Pós-Parto?

Postpartum is the hospital area where people stay after birth. In the Postpartum Unit:

  • Você recebe cuidados e apoio enquanto se cura.
  • Your baby stays in the room (rooms in) with you.
  • Your baby gets check-ups and care.
  • You get help with feeding your baby.
  • Enfermeiras, parteiras, médicos, consultores de lactação e pediatras farão visitas para verificar o(a) senhor(a) e o seu bebê.

What is Rooming In?

Your baby stays in your room with you all the time in the Postpartum Unit. This is known as rooming in.  

What Can I Expect During Rooming In?

While you and your baby are in the hospital, in the same room:

  • You or your support people can do skin-to-skin in the room.
  • All baby exams and tests will be done in the room.  
  • Baby’s first bath will be done in the room.  
  • Babies cry less and have less stress.  
  • You'll get to know your baby’s feeding cues, which helps with breastfeeding.
  • Skilled Postpartum Unit nurses will help you complete all of the necessary steps to prepare you and your baby for a safe transition home.
