Patient's question:
My wife is about to give birth next month. Could you please tell me how many people are needed to take care of her during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
After giving birth, the most thing a woman hopes for is that her husband can have time to take care of her. However, her husband has a job, which is the source of the family's livelihood, so there are time constraints. At this time, a second person is needed to provide care. This person is the mother-in-law, because in our traditional Chinese culture, the mother-in-law takes care of the daughter-in-law during the postpartum period. Since the mother-in-law is an elder, she has a lot of experience in how to take care of children. There is also a postpartum nurse, but when hiring a postpartum nurse, you need to decide based on your family's situation. Because the cost of a postpartum nurse is very high.
