Postpartum Care
Going home with your new baby is exciting — and overwhelming. You’ll be caring for your baby without the extra help you had in the hospital. But even though you’ll be leaving the hospital, you won’t be alone.
At Trinity Health Michigan, your care doesn’t end when you walk out our doors. We give you resources and support to prepare you for the weeks and months ahead. And our providers have years of experience in postpartum health concerns, including childbirth recovery and postpartum depression.
