Many friends may have heard of the term 'pregnant women', but it is not very clear which specific time period pregnant women belong to. And some female friends who want to conceive a baby also need to have a simple understanding of this knowledge in advance. So, which time period does pregnant and postpartum refer to?
1. Pregnant women include two time periods and are also a general term for pregnant women and postpartum women. The time period of a pregnant woman mainly refers to the period from pregnancy to childbirth, which includes early pregnancy, mid pregnancy, and late pregnancy. These three periods belong to pregnancy, and women in this stage of pregnancy are called pregnant women.
2. Postpartum women refer to women who give birth within the following 6 weeks after the placenta is delivered. Moreover, in gynecological clinical practice, after the placenta is delivered, excluding breast breastfeeding, the recovery time required for all organs of the body to return to their pre pregnancy state is called the puerperium period, which is also a 6-week period. Postpartum women are referred to as postpartum women during this period.
3. In addition, pregnant women and postpartum women have their own precautions due to their different stages, so targeted prenatal care and postpartum care should be provided. Moreover, both pregnant and postpartum women belong to a special group and require careful care and nurturing. Therefore, women in these two stages are also known as pregnant women.
