Postpartum care

Postpartum care or postnatal care is a service provided to individuals in the postpartum period, to help with postpartum recuperation and restoration. Additionally, the service aids in the transition to parenthood while also mitigating any health risks. In the United States, about two‑thirds of pregnancy‑related deaths occur during the postpartum period, most of which are considered preventable; barriers such as fragmented care and lapses in insurance coverage contribute to these risks.
