The basic postnatal check-up programme is designed for women who wish to assess their state of health following pregnancy and childbirth, monitor their body’s recovery, and identify any potential postnatal changes in good time. The programme helps to assess gynaecological health, breast condition, blood parameters and the most common vitamin or iron deficiencies following childbirth.
The programme is recommended 6–8 weeks after childbirth, when the body begins to return to its normal state and it is important to assess a woman’s physical well-being and her future health needs.
The programme is coordinated by Živilė Sabonytė-Balšaitienė MD, PhD, an obstetrician-gynaecologist and comprises:
Consultations
- Initial consultation with an obstetrician-gynaecologist;
- Follow-up consultation to discuss test results and provide recommendations.
Laboratory tests
- Complete blood count – helps to assess the body’s general condition and detect inflammation, anaemia or other blood abnormalities;
- Vitamin D – important for bone strength, immunity, hormonal balance and general well-being;
- Ferritin – indicates the body’s iron stores. A reduced level may indicate iron deficiency following childbirth.
Gynaecological examinations

Why is it worth having a postnatal check-up?
After giving birth, a woman’s body undergoes significant hormonal and physical changes. A timely check-up allows health issues to be identified at an early stage, ensuring a smooth recovery and improved well-being in everyday life.
