Health support for new mums

All new mums in England will receive a more comprehensive mental and physical check-up from their GP in the weeks after they give birth. GPs will carry out the comprehensive postnatal check covering a range of topics such as mental health, physical recovery, breastfeeding, and will support them with family planning. The guidance is written in collaboration with the Royal College of GPs.
