Postpartum check-ups?

Postpartum check-ups are regular visits to monitor a mother's physical and emotional health during the period after birth. In Turkey, the Ministry of Health recommends at least 3 check-ups within the first 42 days after birth:
1. First check-up (2-5 days after birth): Blood pressure, temperature, bleeding amount, incision/delivery wound check, breast and milk check. Newborn screening and breastfeeding counseling are also provided.
2. Second check-up (10-14 days): Uterine involution, infection signs, urinary/bowel issues, postpartum depression risk are assessed. Baby's weight and feeding are evaluated.
3. Third check-up (around day 42): General health assessment, family planning counseling, postpartum depression screening. Mother's recovery process is considered complete with this visit.
During these check-ups, 'red flag' symptoms like high blood pressure, severe headache, blurred vision, excessive bleeding, fever, breast pain/redness are specifically checked — if any of these occur, emergency medical help is needed. Postpartum check-ups should not be neglected; make an appointment with your family doctor or gynecologist.
