Postnatal period (or called postpartum) is defined by the WHO as the period beginning one hour after the delivery of the placenta and continuing until six weeks (42 days) after the birth of an infant. The first hours, days and weeks after childbirth are a dangerous time for both mother and newborn baby. In this period, the physical examination of the mother and proper counselling by skilled health service provider is very essential to prevent the health complications. The WHO has recommended postnatal visit for at least three times. The first visit within 24 hours, second visit within 2-3 days and the fourth visit in the seventh day is the normal schedule for postnatal visit. These visits help to find out the health problems in time.
