A new mother experiences many physiological & emotional changes, after child birth. This is the time when the body is recovering from child-birth and needs attention and expert care. Depending on your birth experience, you may start recovering early or it may involve more time than anticipated. Nevertheless, the process of recovery becomes seamless when you are cared for at home in the company of loved ones.

Post-natal care is important and our well-trained nurses will advise you at every step to ensure that you recover from child-birth, while your baby is cared for by experts in your own home environment. Simple yet effective bits and pieces of advice on your diet regime after pregnancy, essential medication, health and hygiene, skin care and weight management goes a long way in ensuring that you recover under proper observation.

SHC’s nurses are trained to oversee all your concerns and give you the necessary advice so that you can be aware of impending issues well ahead of time.

Though they spend most of the time sleeping, babies need to be watched very carefully after birth. A home atmosphere is a perfect place for the infant where our nurses can shower it with the maximum attention and care allowing the mother to rest and convalesce simultaneously.

Your infant is so precious that you would want only the best care for it. As days pass by, you realise that caring for a new-born is a mammoth task specially when the mother herself must relax and needs a lot of time to recover from post-partum issues.
