Pregnancy and labour can be very exhausting and emotional. Various changes will occur in your body including hormonal and emotional changes. After the birth of your baby you need to ensure the assistance you were receiving during your pregnancy is continued, to help restore you to your pre-pregnancy health.

Post-natal care is very critical and essential in the first few days and weeks after delivery.
