Recent Advances in Postpartum Care

Postpartum period is associated with great joy and happiness in most cases but also with various problems. With more attention diverted to the baby, maternal issues are less attended to. This book on postpartum care covers these specific problems related to both. It includes physiology of normal puerperium, abnormalities and emergencies which may occur, and different clinical problems encountered in day-to-day practice. There is a separate section on neonatal care that is an easy guide for the management of normal and abnormal babies with emphasis on lactation management. Topics like postpartum IUCD, newer diagnostic techniques, etc. focus on recent trends and advances in this field.
