Caring For Your Premmie, Newborn Or Twins

Day: Friday
Dates: 
30th September 2022
Time:
3.45pm– 5.00pm

You are finally a proud mother! What a feeling…Congratulations! Your bundle of joy has arrived and you have been thrust into a new role, one which you probably have no experience in. Your priority is your baby and your deepest desire is to give your baby the best. Your new role as a mother can be overwhelming because you also need to take care of You.

From simple things like holding the baby, to bathing them, taking care of baby’s umbilical cord to healing from a CS/ vaginal birth wound, lochia and more, the list of day-to-day issues that a woman will deal with after they get home from hospital can seem overwhelming. This already great responsibility will seem like a double-effort for those who have been gifted with a preemie or twins. Sometimes, with the lack of adequate support, postpartum depression creeps in and the effects can be devastating.

Two issues will form the content of our discussion during this segment:
(1) Your baby’s needs in those first few weeks and
(2) Your needs as a mother even as you take care of your baby(ies).
Whether you are expecting one baby or twins, come prepared for an engaging and enlightening discussion on all the above. None of us plans for a preterm baby but if you do get one, you will need to know what to expect and how best to cope because preemies are special and need that much special care. Join a team of professionals together with medical experts and carers to discuss this session. Come prepared with your questions.
