Post-Pregnancy Care

Home > Specialty > Post-Pregnancy Care

The journey of motherhood doesn’t end at childbirth; it truly begins there. While all attention naturally shifts to the newborn, a mother’s physical and emotional health often gets overlooked. At Ankura Hospital, we believe that postnatal care is just as important as pregnancy care, ensuring that every mother recovers safely, confidently, and comfortably.

Childbirth brings significant changes, hormonal shifts, physical strain, breastfeeding challenges, sleep deprivation, and emotional ups and downs. Without the right support, these can impact long-term health. Our dedicated post-pregnancy care services are designed to guide mothers through this critical healing phase with compassion and expertise.

Comprehensive Postnatal Support for Every Mother Lactation Support

Many new mothers struggle with breastfeeding in the initial days. Our certified lactation consultants offer:

• Guidance on latching, feeding positions, and milk supply

• Support for nipple pain, engorgement, or low milk output

• Help in establishing a smooth feeding routine for mother and baby

Postpartum Depression & Emotional Wellbeing

The postpartum period can bring unexpected emotional challenges. We provide:

• Screening for postpartum depression and anxiety

• Counselling and therapeutic support

• A safe space to discuss fears, exhaustion, and mood changes

Postnatal Physiotherapy & Body Recovery

The body undergoes significant changes during and after pregnancy. Our physiotherapists help mothers with:

• Pelvic floor strengthening

• Relief from back pain, neck pain, or muscle weakness

• Abdominal muscle recovery (including diastasis recti care)

• Gentle exercises to regain mobility and strength

Nutrition & Lifestyle Guidance

Balanced nutrition is essential for recovery and breastfeeding. We offer personalised diet plans to help mothers:

• Rebuild energy stores

• Support milk production

• Achieve healthy weight restoration

Why Post-Pregnancy Care Matters

• Prevents long-term health issues like back pain, pelvic problems, or nutritional deficiencies

• Supports mental health during a vulnerable period

• Helps mothers regain strength and confidence

• Encourages healthy bonding between mother and baby

• Ensures breastfeeding success and comfort

At Ankura, our focus is not just on healthy deliveries, but on healthy mothers. With expert guidance, compassionate support, and personalised care, we ensure every woman transitions into motherhood with strength, confidence, and peace.
