Often nurses have years of experience working with women pre and postnatally and during the parenting years. Nurses are based in centres all over the Peninsula and offer a home visit following discharge from hospital and until you get on your feet again. Then they invite you into your local centre for regular visits. You can attend any centre. Try the nurse at the next centre.
Nurses are available for telephone consultations too.
Try your usual nurse first and do leave a message if the answering machine is on. Your nurse is probably with another family. They return calls as soon as they are free. Nurses offer support and encouragement around being a mother and can assist with your own health needs, as well as your baby s. You can talk to them about things you might be afraid to talk to anyone else about.
