Postpartum Exercises
After your delivery, our physical therapist meets with you during your stay at the hospital. They will provide you with some exercise/tips that will not take much time and are safe for you to do. These are important to prevent common side-effects of having a baby such as low back pain and urinary incontinence.
Car Seat Safety Check-Up
Our certified car seat technicians will inspect your infant car seat before you are discharged from the hospital.
Other opportunities to get your infant car seat inspected by our certified car seat technicians are at our free car seat safety check-up events that are held annually in Hull, Hawarden, and Sioux Center. They will walk parents through a safety checklist of the child’s age, size, condition of the seat, and help determine proper car seat installation.
Our technicians are also available to help with your infant car seat upon request. Please call Marcia Van Voorst at (712) 722-8369 to set up a time.
For more information about choosing the most appropriate car seat for your child by their age, size, and type of vehicle you have, read about “Car Seat Information for Families“.
