In the previous session, you have learned the normal conditions after delivery of the baby will occur. Now you will learn about the abnormal conditions which might occur on the mother during the postnatal period. In this study session, you will see different health related problems that will occur during the postnatal period with what to do when you come across with these problems. The most commonly occurring problems at this time are infection and postpartum bleeding, so as a health extension worker, you are expected to manage such life threatening conditions on the mother as well as the baby both at health facility level and through home care.
