Postpartum Care

Postpartum care focuses on a mother's physical and emotional health after childbirth. The weeks and months following delivery are an important period of recovery and adjustment that require appropriate medical care and support.

Postpartum assessment may include monitoring recovery after vaginal or caesarean delivery, wound healing, vaginal bleeding, blood pressure, breastfeeding concerns, contraception, nutrition, and emotional well-being.

Women should seek prompt medical attention for excessive bleeding, severe abdominal pain, fever, breathing difficulties, severe headache, wound problems, or significant emotional changes.

Regular postpartum follow-up helps identify complications early, supports recovery, addresses breastfeeding and reproductive health concerns, and promotes long-term maternal well-being.
