WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF POSTNATAL CARE ?

Pregnancy and birth is a magical time for mothers. However, in her joy of welcoming a new member to the family, new mothers tend to forget that they are integral to the whole process of conception and birth and they tend to neglect their own need to rest and recover after childbirth. Maternity hospitals are focused only on prenatal and not on postnatal care. New mothers need to be aware that negligence of physical and emotional wellbeing during the delicate postnatal period can lead to infections, postnatal depression and long term physical side effects.
Postpartum maternal health care influences the health of both the mothers and their children greatly. Like prenatal care, the postpartum health care that is typically provided during the six-week period after childbirth is very important to the mothers' health. In developing countries, over 60% of maternal deaths occur during the postpartum period. A great number of postpartum complications can be avoided. Physical as well as psycho-social problems can be detected early via an effective postpartum care. Effective postpartum care is essential to maximize survival of mothers and new born regardless of where a woman delivers. Ironically, in developing countries, about 70% of women do not receive any postpartum care.
CORE VALUES, CULTURE AND PRACTICES IN POSTNATAL CARE

In general, Western postpartum practices are based on the biomedical model, whereby the role of the woman is less important than that of the physician. In contrast, the traditional non-Western perspective emphasizes that birth is part of a holistic and personal system, involving moral values, physical aspects, social relations, and relation to the environment. Postpartum health beliefs and practices among non-Western cultures are each distinct, but have many similarities.
In general, most Asian traditional practices of postpartum care aim to restore the balance in the body elements i.e. soil, water, wind and fire. These practices aim at restoring the normal function of sex and reproductive organs, increasing wellbeing and energy of the mothers, encouraging wound healing, weight loss and aesthetic reasons. Giving birth is a period that is described as ‘cold’ hence proper care is given to balance this. These postpartum care practices are practiced throughout the whole confinement period
