PREFACE

Postnatal is the period beginning immediately after the birth of a childand extending for about six weeks. During this period women should

care for her new born child as well as herself, she has to take

nutritional food during this time because after child birth they feel

week and they have to feed their child eight to ten time in a day,

there is a need of nutritional food for the mother and new born child

for good health and their further development. There is a warm

environment in the mothers womb but after the birth, child comes ina new environment and it is difficult for child to adjust with it so s/he

has to face many, some time child is death because the lack of post-

natal care. WHO and Indian government have been worked

collaborative efforts for the decreased infant and maternal mortality

rate of our country. There are various organizations worked for the

same purpose in our country.

Here the researcher is focusing only to the rural women because therural women are mostly illiterate so that they are misguided by the

DAYA or the old women. Therefore, it creates problems for the mother

as well as new born child.

This study can be helpful for generating awareness among the

pregnant women especially to the rural women as well as those

organizations, worked for the betterment of the pregnant women and

their new baby born. The researcher basically wants to find out the

problems of the women during their pregnancy and after the

pregnancy that can be helpful for preparing the strategy for their

upliftment of the government or many organizations.

INTRODUCTION

Postnatal (Latin for after birth, from post meaning after and natal

meaning of birth) is the period beginning immediately after the

birth of a child and extending for about six week. Another term would

be postpartum period, as it refers to the mother (whereas postnatal

refer to the infant). Less frequently used is Puerperium.

Biologically, it is the time after birth, a time in which the mothers

body, including women level and uterus size, retunes to pre


13/74

pregnancy condition. Lohia is post-partum virginal discharge,

containing blood, mucus and placental tissue.

In scientific literature the term is commonly abbreviated to px. So

that day P5 should be read as the fifth day after birth; this is not beconfused with medical nomenclature which used G P to stand for

number of pregnancy and outcome of pregnancy.

Postnatal Care (Puerperium)

The puerperium covers the 6-week period following birth during which

time the various changes that occurred during pregnancy revert to

the non-pregnant state. Physiological changes during this time

include:

The cardiovascular system reverts to normal during the first 2

weeks. The extra load on the heart from extra volume of blood

disappears by the second week.

The vaginal wall is initially swollen, bluish and pouting but

rapidly regains its tone although remaining fragile for 1-2

weeks. Perinea edema may persist for some days.

After delivery of the placenta, the uterus is at the size of 20-

week pregnancy, but reduces in size on abdominal examination

by 1 finger-breadth each day such that on the 12th day it

cannot be palpated. By end of puerperium it is only slightly

larger than pre-pregnancy.

For the first 3-4 days, lochia comprises mainly blood and

remnants of trophoblastic tissue. During days 3-12 the colour is

reddish-brown but then changes to yellow. Occasionally, lochia

may become red again for a few days due to thrombi at end of

vessels breaking.

Postnatal Care

Women should be offered information to enable them to

promote their own and their babies' health and well-being andto recognize and respond to problems.

14/74

At the first postnatal contact, women should be advised of the

signs and symptoms, and appropriate action for potentially life-

threatening conditions.

All maternity care providers should encourage breastfeeding.

At each postnatal contact, women should be asked about their

emotional well-being, what family and social support they have

and their usual coping strategies for dealing with day-to-day

matters.

Women and their families/partners should be encouraged to tell

their healthcare professional about any changes in mood,

emotional state and behavior that are outside of the woman's

normal pattern.

At each postnatal contact, parents should be offered

information and advice to enable them to:

o Assess their baby's general condition.

o Identify signs and symptoms of common health problems

seen in babies.

o Contact a healthcare professional or emergency service if

required.

Maternal activity

The mother should start walking about as soon as possible, go to

the toilet when necessary and rest when she needs to. She may

prefer to stay in bed for the first 24 hours or longer if she has an

extensive perinea repair.

This is an important time for the women to be encouraged to

breastfeed and learn to care for her infant.

Uterine contractions continue after birth and some women suffer

after-pains, particularly when breastfeeding, and may require

analgesics.


15/74

Breast and bottle feeding

Women who chose to breast or bottle feed often need a lot of

advice and support, especially with their first baby (but

experienced mothers shouldn't be assumed to know everythingand support and advice should always be available).

Breastfeeding should be strongly encouraged (first time mothers

may need a lot of support and encouragement initially).

Breastfeeding has many advantages, including:

o Boosts the baby's immune system.

o Reduction of autoimmune disorders later in life.

o Reduces risk ofcot death.

o Reduces gastrointestinal problems.

o Promotes bonding between the mother and her baby.

Breast engorgement may cause a lot of discomfort but is usually

relieved by good bra support and analgesia.

Women who are unable to breastfeed or prefer to bottle feed alsoneed support and advice, including feeding routines and sterilizing.

Mother's Health

The first few days after birth are consumed with the joy of being a mother.

After the 'blues typically around day 3 (feeling weepy because of the big

drop in hormones), the job of motherhood gets underway in earnest. While

all this is happening the body is rapidly returning to normal. Whether the

delivery is by Caesarean or vaginal the vaginal bleeding should start to

settle and reduce in the first week. Although it may last for 4 - 6 weeks, it

should gradually reduce with time. If it increases in the first weeks you

should return to your doctor for assessment. This is called a secondary post

(= after) partum (= delivery) hemorrhage (= blood loss) and may indicate

that there is some infection in the womb.

16/74

The womb itself reduces in size (involutes), returning to normal by about 6

weeks. The breasts will swell and engorge with milk, which starts to flow

after about 3 days (Colostrums, the milky fluid in the breast before birth, is

released in the first couple of days). There will be considerable weight loss

in the first couple of weeks, but then the weight loss slows.

Wound healing andinfection

Whether the wound is from a Caesarean or vaginal delivery, it tends to heal

rapidly as the mother is young. If infection occurs (about 5%), it is usually

the patient's own bugs taking advantage of the healing skin. The body

delays healing, so that it can deal with the infection, It is important

therefore to control any infection sooner rather than later. This is often by

local means (keeping the area clean, washing), but will sometimes require

antibiotics. Bruising can also cause some extra pain. Arnica may help the

body to absorb the bruise and quicken healing. Bladder infections are also

common; you should contact your doctor if you have symptoms (wanting to

go often, pain passing urine). Breast infection (mastitis) occurs when the

bugs on mother's skin get in through the nipple and infects the gland.

Antibiotics are usually necessary to help with this problem.

Breast-feeding

There is abundant evidence that breast-feeding is beneficial for both the

mother and baby. However in the developed world the differences between

bottle-fed and breast fed babies is small, so mums who cannot breast-feed

for whatever reason should be reassured that they are not endangering

their baby in any way.

For the mother, breast-feeding helps with bonding to the baby, weight loss

and in the long term they have a reduced risk of developing breast cancer.

There is also the practical advantage of not having to sterilize bottles etc.

For the newborn baby, breast is best, containing the added value of

mother's antibodies, which help protect the baby from infection. Breast fed

babies are less likely to be seen in hospital with infection.

In the long term it would appear that there is no difference between breast-

fed and bottle-fed babies.

17/74

Leg clots - Deep Vein thrombosis

When we cut our skin, the blood clotting products are activated so that a

clot forms and we stop bleeding. Sometimes the clotting system

malfunctions and produces a blood clot (thrombosis) in the veins in thebody, typically in the deep veins in the leg, a deep vein thrombosis or DVT.

If the clot breaks away it will travel to the lung (a pulmonary embolus),

where it will block some of the lung's ability to provide oxygen for the body.

This can be a life threatening complication.

Situations that increase the likelihood of a DVT includes air travel (economy

class syndrome) clotting factor defects, being immobile for whatever reason

and pregnancy. In pregnancy a woman is at particular risk after having her

baby, particularly if there has been a long labour, a forceps delivery or

Caesarean section (see Labour and Delivery).

If you are considered to be at increased risk of having a DVT you will be

given heparin or a derivative of heparin (low molecular weight heparin).

Heparin is a compound that occurs naturally in the body, which acts as a

balance for the clotting system. By giving the patient extra heparin (by

injection), we can reduce the risk of you getting a clot.

If you are unfortunate and suffer a DVT you may have to be placed on

stronger anti-clotting (or anti-coagulant) drugs such as Warfarin.

Coping with baby

After the excitement of being pregnant, after the ecstasy and anxiety of

labour and delivery, after the indescribable joy of seeing your own child

alive in your arms, you realize that you have a living human who you are

responsible for, an awesome challenge. There are major changes in lifestyle

as you learn to adapt to your new situation. Both parents will be shocked by

the extent to which their life is altered, an even greater challenge for the

single parent. It is important to recognize the strain and keep talking to

each other about the change in your life, especially in the first few months

of the baby's life. Within months everyone adapts and life becomes more

enjoyable.


18/74

Postnatal depression

About three days after birth, when the hormone levels from pregnancy

rapidly return to their normal pre-pregnancy values, the new mother may

feel weepy for no particular reason. This is called 'The Blues' and usuallyonly lasts a day or two.

Many women feel mildly depressed in the first few months after birth,

reflecting the great strain brought about by becoming a mother. For some

women many repressed issues surrounding their own personality and

childhood experiences can no longer be hidden away and must be

addressed.

If you feel this way you are not alone. Please talk to someone and get

professional help, so that you can enjoy your experience of being a mother

(and father, as the case may be). A very small number of women develop

severe depression or psychosis after delivery, typically becoming quiet,

withdrawn and inappropriate in their behaviour. These women need

specialist psychiatric help, often requiring formal admission and drug

therapy to restore the mother to her normal self.

POSTNATAL CARE FOR MOTHER

Wounds to the uterus, perineum (the area between the vagina and

anus) and vagina heal rapidly. Exercising the vagina will help it regain

its original shape quickly. After delivering the child, the levels of the

hormone progesterone are restored to normal. Hence, a number of

problems related to pregnancy disappear on their own. Heartburns

vanish, varicose veins get better and constipation is reduced. Piles

take a longer time to get better. During pregnancy, hormones soften

the joints of the pelvis and spine, and these take time to return to

normal. You can have trouble with your back for many months after

delivery, so one should avoid lifting and carrying things that are very

heavy. The stomach muscles that have been stretched to twice their

length, regain their firmness in a few months.


19/74

A Healthy Diet

A healthy diet for the new mother is essential to recuperate from the

physical strains of pregnancy. One should take a nutritious diet

containing bread, cereals, potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables,beans, lentils, dry fruits etc. Milk and dairy foods, meat, fish and other

protein alternatives are also essential. These fruits easily make up for

most part of your diet. It is important to eat five meal portions in a

day. Eat in moderate amounts and choose lower fat version wherever

possible.

Excess Pregnancy Weight

Most of the weight is lost within a few days of childbirth, as the

excess water carried during pregnancy is flushed out as urine.

Thereafter, weight loss slows down, but if you continue to breastfeed

your baby for more than six months, you will find that your weight in

decreasing naturally. However, regaining your originally weight may

take some time and effort from your side.

Emotional Healing

The entire process of being pregnant and childbirth is an emotional

time. It will help if you have someone to talk to about how you feel

and what your fears and apprehensions are. If you cannot find anyone

to talk, write it down. Even this will help you feel better. Some

maternity homes allow the new parents to speak about the

experience they had. Doing this helps to reduce the emotional impact

for the parents. If the parents are dissatisfied by the care given to

them at the maternity home, they can express their concerns.

VACCINATION

Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material (a vaccine) to

stimulate adaptive immunity to a disease. Vaccines can prevent or

ameliorate the effects of infection by many pathogens. There is strong

evidence for the efficacy of many vaccines, such as the influenza vaccine,

the HPV vaccine and the chicken pox vaccine among others. Vaccination is

20/74

generally considered to be the most effective method of preventing

infectious diseases. The material administered can either be live but

weakened forms of pathogens (bacteria or viruses), killed or inactivated

forms of these pathogens, or purified material such as proteins.

The word vaccination was first used by Edward Jenner in 1796. Louis Pasteur

furthered the concept through his pioneering work in microbiology.

Vaccination (Latin: vaccacow) is so named because the first vaccine was

derived from a virus affecting cowsthe relatively benign cowpox virus

which provides a degree of immunity to smallpox, a contagious and deadly

disease. In common speech, 'vaccination' and 'immunization' generally have

the same colloquial meaning. This distinguishes it from inoculation which

uses unweakened live pathogens, although in common usage either is used

to refer to an immunization. The word "vaccination" was originally used

specifically to describe the injection ofsmallpox vaccine.

Vaccination efforts have been met with some controversy since their

inception, on scientific, ethical, political, medical safety, religious, and other

grounds. In rare cases, vaccinations can injure people and, in the United

States, they may receive compensation for those injuries under the National

Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Early success and compulsionbrought widespread acceptance, and mass vaccination campaigns were

undertaken which are credited with greatly reducing the incidence of many

diseases in numerous geographic regions.

CONCLUSION

In Rural area there is a problem of lack of Post-natal care awareness

among women because of illiterate and superstition family, in village

elders are like to follows their old and traditional way of child rearing

and child care practices. They do not believe in Doctors guidance.

They are force their daughter-in-law and their daughter for follow old

ways of Post-natal Care, rural women also hesitating by the surgery

and that is why they are avoiding medical treatment. Most of the

women are aware about the postnatal care but they are used their

olden ways and some time it create problem for mother as well as

young child.

Some time woman of rural area wants to admit in hospital during

pregnancy but they have no money to spend in medical treatment,

because they are not economically sound, only 20% women are

aware about Post-natal Care and 80% are not aware. While 80%

women have pregnancy at home it saws the unawareness regarding

Safe child birth and Care. India is a country of villages and there is a

vast different in rural and urban it means there is also different in

Child Care, child is a future of the country and if he is not healthy

then how he will provide his service for the country. Mostly vasava

community people are not aware about Post-natal Care and they

follow unsafe and unhealthy Post-natal Care, it creates serious

problems for the young child or infant.
