Home Care available for new mothers
* Sharon Meta
The birth of a child can be a strain on a
family as well as one of the happiest and
most beautiful experiences a family can
share. The mother and the new baby remain
in hospital for five days following delivery
which creates stress on other family mem-
bers.
Father must schedule hospital visits
around his own wont routine while' making
arrangements for care of the older children
in the family during mother's hospital stay_
The new mother is anxious to be al home
where she will be more comfortable and
where she can provide security for the older
children whose insecurity is compounded by
mother being absent from the home and the
feeling that they cannot be included in this
wonderful event.
1f mother can retutd horse as soma as
possible after the delivery. there can 1* less
presser on everyone. The older children are
included in the birth Rhin the beginning.
Father can persue his work resportstb-HNes

Hut this requires support from people
outside the family and often the choice of
support creates as much tension as all the
other contributing factors.
Fran Mcguail of West Wawanosh Town-
ship gave birth to her second child. a
daughter. Kate on November 12. She was
discharged from hospital 24 hours later and
has received care at home through the
