Diet & Nutritional Support
Sure you want to fit into your skinny jeans soon after pregnancy, but you need to be aware that there are health hazards associated with losing weight too quickly. Nutrition after pregnancy is just as important as during pregnancy, especially if you are breastfeeding.
If you would like a consultation with a dietitian after you deliver, just ask your doctor for a referral. Our Diabetes & Nutrition Center has resources to jump-start your healthy nutrition plan. We can create a specialized program just for you to help you get to your goal weight in a healthy manner. If you find yourself struggling with weight issues, you may want to get help from our WK Weight & Wellness Solutions program that addresses proper eating habits, exercise and emotional well-being.
Physical Therapy
For You: Aches and pains can arise from pregnancy in places where you’ve never felt discomfort. These can include things like back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. Don’t let these affect your joy and ability to care for your newborn! Willis-Knighton’s certified physical therapists can help. Talk to your doctor and ask for a referral to a WK physical therapist.
For Your Baby: Sometimes babies experience developmental difficulties. We have certified pediatric therapists to help identify and address developmental disorders. Your pediatrician can make a referral to help assure that you child progresses to his or her full potential.
