What is Postnatal Care?
Postnatal care is specialized care for the mother that starts within an hour after the delivery and lasts up to six to eight weeks.
After the delivery, the mother goes through many physical and emotional changes while learning to take care of their newborn. Therefore, postpartum or postnatal care at home involves:
- Getting proper rest
- Nutrition
- Vaginal care-You should abstain from sexual intercourse for four to six weeks after delivery so that your vagina has adequate time to heal. If you experience abnormal vaginal symptoms(vaginal bleeding or discharge, contractions),
schedule an appointment with our doctor to discuss those symptoms and receive proper treatment.
