I need to know the postpartum care for a mother after having the baby and an postpartum hemorrhage
Postpartum care starts after the delievery of the baby an sends when the body of the mother returns back to pre-pregnancy stage.
After the baby is delivered the mother should take a nap and they have both emotional and physical changes go through them.They have to adjust to the baby needs and also needs to care for the baby who are dependent on them.
Good nutrition and rest are the important care they required to gain their strength.
Mother should take good care of her self by taking nap while the baby is sleeping an eating healthy food such as vegetables,diary,proteins and grains etc. When they have visitors there is no need to entertain them.of the mother is feeling not well.She should excise her self and to eat or rest.Food is very important in the postpartum time because the baby is feeding from them so they should take meals regularly and drink lots of fluids.
After two to three weeks try to introduce Bootle to the baby for nighty feeding.Anf try to keep your baby near you during night as it helps while feeding them.
B) Postpartum hemorrhage is a condition where more blood loss is seen during delivery which is not normal.
Care includes finding the cause and stopping the bleeding as soon as possible. To stimulate uterine contractions medicine is given or massage of uterine is done.aif placenta pieces are present they should be removed. Examination is done for uterus,pelvic tissue,vulva,va-gina and should be repaired of damage is down for them.Uterus is removed if there is no way to control the bleeding.
During Hemorrhage the mother loses lots of blood and fluids so they should be given IV fluids and blood to prevent from shock and oxygen is also given to help them.
