42 days after delivery is an important check-up time for mothers after delivery. After delivery, many changes will naturally occur in the body, whether it is hormones in the body or physical fitness, which is different from the non-pregnant state. Therefore, postpartum mothers need a period of recovery to restore the reproductive organs and the whole body (except the breasts) to a non-pregnant state. This physiological change takes about 42 days to complete, which is called puerperium. Whether the parturient can recover as before, the puerperium is the key stage. During this period, we must pay attention to puerperal health care in order to better complete postpartum recovery.

Some mothers also have pregnancy-induced hypertension. After delivery, the general blood pressure will return to the pre-pregnancy level. If the blood pressure has not returned to normal, we should find out the cause in time and treat the symptoms.
