In connection with the Maternity Outpatient Clinic, there is a Swedish and Finnish-speaking clinic providing treatment for the fear of childbirth as well as appointments available to see a nurse. At the nurse’s appointment, for patients who are coming from home and who have delivered at Lohja Hospital, we provide breastfeeding guidance until the baby is 6 months old.
