Postpartum care refers to the medical, physical, and emotional support provided to a birthing parent in the weeks and months following childbirth, covering recovery from delivery, breastfeeding support, monitoring for complications like postpartum depression or hemorrhage, and newborn care guidance. It's delivered by obstetricians, midwives, doulas, and postpartum nurses, and increasingly recognized as needing more structured follow-up beyond the traditional single six-week checkup. Adequate postpartum care is a growing focus in maternal health policy and doula/support services.
