Many women focus on pregnancy but overlook postpartum recovery. The weeks after birth are crucial for both physical and emotional health.
Common aspects of recovery:
- Bleeding (lochia) that gradually decreases
- Healing from stitches or a cesarean incision
- Adjusting to feeding (breast or formula)
- Emotional well-being
When to seek urgent care:
Heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, or mood changes that persist.
Key takeaway:
Plan a postpartum check within the first 3 weeks and a full review at 6 weeks. Your recovery is just as important as your pregnancy.
