Post Natal

What we do

Post Natal Care

Postnatal care refers to the medical and healthcare support provided to mothers and their newborns after childbirth. This period typically extends from the first hours after delivery up to the first six weeks of postnatal, although care may continue beyond this timeframe as needed. Postnatal care is essential to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the newborn during the recovery period and the transition into parenthood.

When to start postnatal exercises?

Gentle exercise such as walking can generally be started within a few days after giving birth, or as soon as you feel comfortable. Start when you feel up to it. Some women will feel able to start exercising early. Talk with your doctor about when is a good time for you to restart an exercise program.

Six weeks after giving birth, most of the changes that occur during pregnancy will have returned to normal. If you had a caesarean birth, a difficult birth, or complications, it may take a little longer to feel ready to start exercising. If you did not exercise during pregnancy, start with easy exercises and slowly build up to harder ones.

Keep in mind your lower back and core abdominal muscles are weaker than they used to be. Your ligaments and joints are also more supple and pliable, so it is easier to injure yourself by stretching or twisting too much. Avoid any high-impact exercises or sports that require rapid direction changes.

Here are some key components and aspects of postnatal care:

Physical Recovery
Postnatal care includes monitoring and supporting the mother's physical recovery from childbirth. This involves assessing the healing of any perineal tears or cesarean incisions, managing pain, and addressing any complications that may arise.
Newborn Care
Postnatal care also involves monitoring the health and development of the newborn. Therapists of Nidanta Physiotherapy check the baby's weight, vital signs, and overall well-being. We provide guidance on infant care, including feeding, diapering, and ensuring the baby's safety.

Studies have shown that vigorous or regular exercise does not have adverse effects on a mother’s ability to successfully breastfeed as long as fluid and caloric intake are maintained. Some research, however, suggests that high-intensity physical activity can cause lactic acid to accumulate in breast milk and produce a sour taste a baby might not like.

If you're breastfeeding, you can prevent this potential problem by sticking to low- to moderate-intensity physical activity and drinking plenty of fluids during and after your workout. Here we guide and supports for breastfeeding mothers, helping them establish a successful breastfeeding routine and addressing any breastfeeding-related issues.

Postnatal care includes assessing and addressing the emotional well-being of the mother. Our Healthcare counselors are available to support and intervention if postpartum depression or other mental health concerns arise.

Pelvic Floor and Core Rehabilitation
For mothers who have experienced abdominal separation (diastasis recti) or pelvic floor issues during pregnancy or childbirth, we design a specific physical exercise program for recovery of pelvic floor muscles; it includes kegel exercise, and other pelvic floor strengthening exercises.

Exercising after you have your baby can improve your physical and mental wellbeing. It can:

help restore muscle strength and firm up your body
make you less tired because it raises your energy level and improves your sense of wellbeing
promote weight loss
improve your cardiovascular fitness and restore muscle strength
condition your abdominal muscles
Improve your mood, relieve stress and help prevent postnatal depression.
Education and Guidance
Our Postnatal care program includes providing information on infant care, and adjusting to parenthood. Mothers and families are educated on recognizing signs of newborn illness and when to seek medical attention. Our Nutritionist monitor the mother's weight and nutritional status, ensuring that she is recovering well and receiving proper nourishment.

Postnatal care is a critical part of maternal and infant healthcare, promoting the well-being of both mother and baby during the postpartum period. It is essential for monitoring recovery, addressing any complications, and providing support as mothers adjust to their new roles as caregivers. Regular physical exercises, postnatal checkups and open communication with healthcare providers are important for a healthy postpartum experience.
