After Birth: Continuing from Hospital to Home

After giving birth, the mother has to take some rest in the hospital in order to recover the strength she lost from giving birth. After that period, she is dismissed and will be able to have her full recovery at home. It may take weeks or months for her to fully recover from giving birth but in some cases, it only takes days, depending on her immune system. She is advised to stay at home and have a balanced diet with nutritious foods. This is also a period of relaxation for her. She can get back to her work if she has fully recovered.

At the Hospital

She is prescribed several drugs that would help her regain her vitality lost during childbirth. Pain relievers and antibiotics are specific examples. Here, she is served with highly nutritious foods. Supervision is always around her, from giving birth until she partly recovers. From here, she is observed if she has developed disorders or any complications that could possibly ruin her system and prevent her fast recover. If she is diagnosed with any complications, she is required to stay a little longer for further medication.

She needs to be supervised and taken good care of. It is important that she has all the best of attention and care for a speedy development while away from home.

At Home

From the hospital, she is sent straight home. Proper attention and care is vital to her full recovery. Here follows the things for her full recovery:
Relaxation for her is very necessary.
Healthy diet is very essential to her recovery in which the foods she must take in are highly nutritious.
She is not allowed to do any activity that requires physical exertion yet like carrying heavy loads.
The relaxation process is still taking place. She is served with love and care in order to avoid any depressions that could arise from mistreatment and prior attention from her care takers or members of the family.
She must be comforted if she feels any awkward things.
She must not be disappointed with any of her wishes, but it is limited when nutrition is a factor. She still has to boost her immune system in order to recover in no time.

The Recovery

Just as soon as she has fully recovered, she can have her lifestyle back at once. She can do the usual things she does like before. But this time, her strength and capacity is expected to be lesser than before she gave birth. This is mainly caused by the medication she had at the hospital such as taking in pain relievers and the penetration of anesthesia into her system. But somehow, she is now back to her usual tasks at home or at work.
