Why Are Postpartum Checkups Crucial for New Mothers?

Postpartum checkups are essential medical appointments that should be scheduled within 6 weeks of childbirth. These visits are designed to monitor the mother’s physical and mental health, address any concerns, and ensure she is recovering well after childbirth.

At Anandi Hospital, we aim to provide personalised postpartum care tailored to each mother’s specific needs. From managing postpartum haemorrhage to offering guidance on postpartum recovery, our specialists ensure you receive the care you need at this important stage of your journey.

What Happens During a Postpartum Checkup?

A typical postpartum checkup involves a thorough assessment of the mother’s health and a discussion about her postpartum care plan. The key components of our checkup include:

Physical Health Assessment

Vital signs monitoring: Checking blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature.

Postpartum haemorrhage management: Ensuring no excessive bleeding is present and addressing any complications.

Pelvic examination: Checking for any signs of infection, uterine prolapse, or pelvic floor dysfunction.

Breastfeeding evaluation: Offering support and advice on breastfeeding techniques, nipple care, and addressing common challenges.

Emotional Well-being & Mental Health Screening

The postpartum period can bring significant emotional challenges, from baby blues to postpartum depression. During the checkup, we assess the mother’s mental health by discussing her mood and emotional changes. If needed, we provide referrals to mental health professionals for more in-depth care.

 

Postpartum Skin Care & Body Recovery

Postpartum skin care is an often-overlooked aspect of recovery. We offer guidance on managing skin changes such as stretch marks, pigmentation, and healing post-cesarean section or perineal tears. We also discuss nutrition and exercise to promote postpartum recovery and overall well-being.

Birth Control & Family Planning

A critical part of post partum care is discussing birth control options. Whether you choose a hormonal method, an IUD, or a natural form of contraception, we ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.

When Should You Schedule Your Postpartum Checkup?

The ideal time for a postpartum checkup is within 6 weeks after childbirth. This time frame allows healthcare providers to assess recovery progress and detect any potential complications such as postpartum haemorrhage or infections.

However, if you experience any signs of postpartum depression, excessive bleeding, pain, or complications before the 6-week mark, it’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider immediately.
