- Abstract:
- Receiving medical care at all stages of childbearing from preconception and pregnancy to delivery and postpartum has implications for women's health, infant health, and later episodes of pregnancy. This brief explores the postpartum period when some women are at risk of illness or death due to pregnancy-related complications. Medical care after pregnancy has the potential to address pregnancy-related injury or illness as well as control lingering conditions that could impact a subsequent pregnancy.
