What Is Postpartum Care and Why Is It Crucial?
Postpartum care refers to the medical and emotional support a woman receives after giving birth. This phase, often called the “fourth trimester,” is just as important as pregnancy itself. It starts immediately after delivery and typically lasts for 6 to 8 weeks, during which the body heals, hormones stabilize, and new routines are established.
At Dr. Tuhina Goel’s clinic, we understand that postpartum is a time of great joy, but also significant change. Our expert team is committed to providing complete postnatal care, guiding mothers through every step of recovery — physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Physical Recovery After Childbirth
Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or a C-section, your body undergoes major changes post-delivery. Here’s how we support your healing:
Wound care: Monitoring stitches, C-section incision or episiotomy healing
Bleeding (lochia): Guiding you on what’s normal and when to seek help
Sleep and rest: Techniques to rest effectively even with a newborn
Nutrition: A customized postnatal diet plan to promote recovery and lactation
Postnatal exercises: Gentle stretches and core strengthening to restore body tone
Our gynecologists conduct routine follow-ups to track recovery progress and address any concerns promptly
