Delivery & Postnatal Care

Supervised vaginal delivery and postnatal care for mother and baby, including feeding support, at Mother and Child Fountain of Life Specialist Hospital, Nnewi.

Labour is supervised by our midwifery and medical team, with continuous assessment of mother and baby and access to theatre if the situation changes.

Postnatal care covers recovery after birth, feeding support, newborn checks and contraception advice before discharge. Where a baby needs additional support, our newborn unit is in the same building.

What the process involves

• Labour and delivery - Supervised throughout, with theatre available if needed.
• Immediate newborn care - Assessment of the baby and early skin-to-skin where possible.
• Postnatal recovery - Inpatient care, feeding support and newborn checks.
• Discharge and follow-up - Guidance on recovery, feeding, immunisation and contraception.
