The postpartum check-up schedule is set by the Ministry of Health at standard intervals to assess the mother's and baby's health after birth:
For mother's postpartum check-ups:
- First check-up: Within 24 hours after birth (while in hospital)
- 2nd check-up: 3-5 days after birth
- 3rd check-up: 7-10 days after birth
- 4th check-up: Day 15 after birth
- 5th check-up: Day 42 after birth (6 weeks)
During these check-ups, the mother's blood pressure, temperature, bleeding status, breast health, incision/delivery wound, and emotional state are evaluated.
For newborn check-ups:
- First check-up: At birth in hospital
- 2nd check-up: 3-5 days after birth (usually with mother)
- 3rd check-up: 7-10 days after birth
- 4th check-up: Day 15
- 5th check-up: Day 42 (6 weeks)
Baby check-ups include weight, length, head circumference, feeding, jaundice, hearing screening, heel stick test, and umbilical/skin health checks.
These dates are monitored by family medicine units, and check-ups are usually done at home or at a family health center.
