Postnatal Care
Postnatal care is also known as Postpartum Care.
It refers to the medical and emotional care provided to a woman and her newborn in the period following childbirth. This period is typically the first six weeks after giving birth, but it can extend beyond that as well. The main goals of postnatal care are to ensure the well-being of the mother and the newborn, monitor and address any potential complications, and provide support for the physical and emotional adjustments that occur during this time.
It involves:
-
- Monitoring the mother’s health after childbirth.
- Addressing any postpartum complications or concerns.
- Providing guidance on postpartum recovery and care for the newborn.
Postnatal care may vary depending on factors such as the mother’s health, the type of delivery (vaginal or cesarean), and any complications that may have occurred during childbirth. Healthcare providers, including obstetricians, midwives, and pediatricians, play a crucial role in providing comprehensive postnatal care.

Preconception Care:
The health and nutrition of both men and women before conception is important not only for pregnancy outcomes but also for the lifelong health of their children and even the next generation.
The preconception period can be seen in three different ways: from a biological standpoint as the days and weeks before embryo development; from the individual perspective as the time of wanting to conceive; and through a population lens as any time a woman is of childbearing age.
Education and Support:
-
- Providing education and support to expectant mothers and their families about pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care.
Evaluation of Pregnancy Loss:
Pregnancy loss, commonly referred to as a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion, is generally defined as a loss of pregnancy less than or up to 20 weeks gestation and in some jurisdictions, 24 weeks gestation is the cut-off. Pregnancy loss during this time is considered to be a loss of a non-viable pregnancy (the chances of survival of the fetus extra-uterine are very low or none). Early pregnancy loss, which occurs in the first trimester, is the most common type of the three below:
- Early pregnancy loss (EPL) – This is described as a nonviable, intrauterine pregnancy within the first trimester (up to 12+6 weeks from the last menstrual period). EPL includes pregnancies with an empty gestational sac (sometimes referred to as an anembryonic gestation) and pregnancies with an embryo or fetus without cardiac activity.
- Early second-trimester pregnancy loss – Early second-trimester pregnancy loss occurs after 13+0 and before 20+0 weeks of gestation. The 20-week cutoff is arbitrary and not related to any physiologic differences between pregnancies less than 20 weeks versus greater than 20 weeks.
Stillbirth or fetal death – Pregnancy loss that occurs at 20 weeks gestation or later, or at a weight of 350 grams or greater, is generally referred to as a stillbirth or fetal death.
