Postpatum discharge education

Ascension Saint Thomas presents a collection of postpartum patient education videos for new parents.

From all of us at Ascension Saint Thomas, congratulations on your new bundle of joy!

We are here to provide helpful information and to listen to your needs as we prepare for your little one.

The below postpartum education video series provides essential guidance for parents as they transition home after childbirth. The collection covers maternal recovery topics—including vaginal and cesarean care, pain management, bleeding expectations, blood pressure warning signs, bowel and bladder changes, activity restrictions, and emotional well-being—along with practical newborn care such as safe sleep, car seat safety, feeding, bathing, jaundice awareness, diapering, and circumcision and umbilical cord care.

Together, these videos offer clear, supportive instructions to promote healing, confidence, and safety for both parent and baby in the early weeks at home.
