Post Delivery Care

Post-delivery care, also known as postpartum care, focuses on supporting mothers through the physical and emotional recovery period following childbirth. This critical phase typically lasts six to eight weeks but can extend longer, especially for mothers who had complications during delivery or are breastfeeding. Comprehensive postpartum care addresses physical healing, emotional well-being, infant care guidance, and family adjustment. This period involves significant physical changes as the body returns to its pre-pregnancy state, hormonal fluctuations that can affect mood and energy, and the challenge of caring for a newborn while recovering from delivery.
