Postpartum

Overview:

The postpartum period is a transformative phase following childbirth. Navigating the challenges during this time requires comprehensive support that extends beyond traditional maternity care. With studies showing that over 50% of maternal mortality occurs following childbirth, the postpartum period is a critical phase for mothers and infants.

Challenges of Postpartum:

The postpartum phase encompasses a wide range of physical, emotional, and logistical challenges. New mothers often face post-delivery hurdles such as depression, breastfeeding difficulties, and issues with transitioning back to work. These challenges underscore the need for a holistic, comprehensive approach to address the unique needs of each family – especially following a NICU admission.
