Abstract
Postpartum period is the period after delivery when maternal physiological
and anatomical changes return to the non-pregnant state. This period is usually considered to be 6 weeks in duration. The World Health Organization (WHO) describes postnatal care as the most critical and most neglected phase of the women’s and newborn’s life where the morbidity and mortality are highly prevalent if proper care is not provided. Postpartum self-care knowledge has a significant role in reducing the complications that may occur during the postnatal period. Therefore the aim of the present study was to assess perception of pregnant women regarding self-care measures during postpartum period.
