Postnatal Care in Raebareli
Postnatal care (also called postpartum care) is the support a mother and her newborn receive in the weeks after delivery. At Mithila Women's Hospital in Raebareli, Dr. Shilpi Singh and our team provide attentive postnatal care to help mothers recover, support breastfeeding and newborn care, and watch for any problems. The period after birth is an important time for both mother and baby, and good care makes a real difference.
What is postnatal care?
Postnatal care covers the physical and emotional recovery of the mother and the health of the newborn after delivery. For the mother, this includes monitoring healing (whether after a normal delivery or caesarean), checking blood pressure and bleeding, supporting breastfeeding, advising on nutrition and rest, and discussing contraception and future pregnancies. For the baby, it includes feeding support, weight checks, immunisation guidance, and monitoring for any signs of concern. Postnatal care also pays attention to emotional wellbeing, as many new mothers experience mood changes and benefit from support.
When should you see a doctor after delivery?
Routine postnatal check-ups are an important part of recovery, and your doctor will advise when to attend. Beyond these, seek care promptly if you have heavy or increasing bleeding, fever, severe abdominal or wound pain, signs of infection, severe headache, or breast pain with redness. For your baby, seek advice if there is poor feeding, persistent crying, fever, breathing difficulty, yellowing of the skin, or fewer wet nappies than expected. If you feel persistently sad, anxious, or overwhelmed, please talk to your doctor — support is available.
