🧬 mum's body after giving birth

Postpartum recovery varies and deserves practical support and medical attention when needed.

What's Actually Happening in Her Body

1. What to prepare
Share chores, feeding support and appointments; respect privacy, pain and choices about touch.
2. What to check
Seek urgent care for heavy bleeding, chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe headache, fever or acute mental-health symptoms. Ask the maternity team about wound or pelvic-floor concerns.
3. In Singapore
For a life-threatening medical emergency call 995 for a medical emergency. Give your location and follow dispatcher instructions.
4. In Singapore
Confirm the maternity hospital’s assessment route and after-hours number. Arrange newborn follow-up with the hospital, polyclinic or GP, including jaundice review when directed. Public subsidies and MediSave arrangements have eligibility rules; check charges and referral requirements.
