Newborn examinations
Following the birth of your baby the midwife will conduct an initial top to toe examination of your baby to assess for wellbeing and to identify anything unusual. The check will be performed next to you to provide information and reassurance.
There will also be additional examinations of your baby during your stay.
You can find out more about these examinations on our postnatal care website page.
