Postpartum Recovery – Essential Health Signs Every Mom Should Watch For

Bringing a new life into the world is an incredible experience, but the postpartum period comes with physical and emotional challenges. At Nova Newborn, we provide expert postpartum coaching to support mothers through recovery. While some discomfort is normal, certain symptoms should never be ignored.

Postpartum Warning Signs Every Mother Should Know

1. Heavy Bleeding (Hemorrhage) – If you’re soaking more than one pad per hour or passing large clots, seek immediate medical attention.

2. Severe Pain – Intense abdominal pain, chest pain, or persistent headaches may indicate a serious condition.

3. Signs of Infection – Fever, chills, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, or painful urination could signal an infection.

4. Swelling in the Legs – This may be a sign of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a dangerous blood clot.

5. Shortness of Breath or Chest Pain – These symptoms could indicate a pulmonary embolism, requiring urgent care.

6. Severe Mood Swings, Anxiety, or Depression – If feelings of sadness, anxiety, or detachment persist, you may be experiencing postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis.

7. High Blood Pressure Symptoms – Headaches, blurred vision, nausea, and swelling may be signs of postpartum preeclampsia.
