You followed your doctor’s orders while pregnant, received quality prenatal care, and your bundle of joy has arrived to complete your world. Your new chapter of motherhood has arrived. That does not mean you can stop taking care of yourself. You need as much care and attention as your new baby does in order to have the physical and mental strength to care for your baby and home. For a postnatal care center in Katy, TX, look no further than Drs Jenkins, Roy, Ramirez and Ikwuagwu of Jenkins Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Medicine.
Although most pregnancy care focuses on the nine months of carrying the baby, the postpartum period requires care as well. This period lasts six to eight weeks and begins right after the baby is born. During this period, the mother goes through physical and emotional care making postnatal care important.
There are a number of tips to help you heal and to take care of yourself after the birth of your child.
Schedule an appointment with your postnatal care center about six weeks after giving birth to discuss any symptoms, questions, or concerns you may have. This is a time to focus on the mother’s health and wellbeing to check for proper healing.
