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.
Checking blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature.
Ensuring no excessive bleeding is present and addressing any complications.
Checking for any signs of infection, uterine prolapse, or pelvic floor dysfunction.
Offering support and advice on breastfeeding techniques, nipple care, and addressing common challenges.
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 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.
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.
Our postpartum care kits include essential items to support the recovery process, including healing creams, nursing pads, comfort items, and breastfeeding aids. These kits are tailored to address the common concerns and needs of new mothers during the early postpartum phase.
At Anandi Hospital, we have a dedicated post partum care centre where mothers can access both medical care and emotional support. From follow-up appointments to lactation consultations, our centre is designed to help mothers thrive during the first months of recovery.
We focus on every aspect of postpartum recovery, including physiotherapy, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and nutrition plans to ensure that the mother is physically and mentally prepared for life with her newborn.
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.
At Anandi Hospital, we are committed to providing comprehensive postpartum care for mother with a personalised approach to meet every mother’s needs. Our team of experienced obstetricians, gynecologists, and nurses provide expert care in a compassionate and supportive environment.
