Pre and Post-Partum Care

Care is related to all stages of conceiving a child. Nine months of pregnancy can be divided into three stages- Pre-partum care, Intra-partum care and postpartum care. In the initial stage that is the pre-partum the expecting mother undergoes various pathology and radiological assessments in order to keep a constant vigil on the development of the foetus in her womb. This makes it easy to find complications in pregnancy like preclampsia, eclampsia, miscarriages, bleeding etc. The body of the mother undergoes changes and so does her psychological state of mind after conceiving and up to the delivery of the baby. Post-partum care is primarily important to the newly born baby as well as the mother. One of the most important key parameter of postpartum care is Breastfeeding.
