Stress and Postpartum Recovery
The Recovery Challenges
Stress can impact postpartum health by prolonging recovery, affecting mood stability, and exacerbating fatigue. In the U.S., postpartum women may face stress-related challenges during the transition to motherhood.
To support postpartum recovery, practice stress management techniques such as restorative self-care, social support, and seeking professional guidance. Addressing stress promotes physical and emotional well-being after childbirth.
