determined in stages. The check-up is done twice
a day for the first three days and then at the
end of 6 weeks to check the involution of the
uterus. In the case of institutional delivery,
there are 6 visits. There are various calories

Physiotherapy and postnatal care-
Depending upon the fact that you may have a
vaginal delivery or a C-section, you need to put
your focus on different muscles. After the
vaginal delivery, you must allow your muscles to
rest and recover well.
The physiotherapist will introduce you to various
exercises based on certain principles that would
involve rest and compression exercises.
Resting is one of the most important components
and you should do it whenever you get a chance.
In the early days, you are going to spend a lot
of time feeding your baby and hence, very often
you will be in a sitting position.

This gives the muscle a chance to rest and
recover and the muscles become a little more
comfortable. For compression, use proper
maternity pads suggested by the physiotherapists
and follow the suitable exercises suggested.
Make sure that in the initial days, whenever you
are not feeding lie down. This will help you
relax the swelling. At the same time, it can be
very helpful to use ice packs to reduce
inflammation and pain. Your physiotherapist may
suggest you wrap it in a cloth and place it on
the pelvic muscle.
