Postnatal Issues

After childbirth, you're likely focused on caring for your baby. But health problems, some life-threatening, can happen in the weeks and months afterward and many aren't aware of the warning signs. Here's what you need to know about postpartum complications.

A pregnancy-related death is the death of a woman while pregnant or within one year of the end of a pregnancy. More than half the pregnancy-related deaths happen after childbirth.

After childbirth, it's common to experience fatigue and discomfort, such as perineal pain and uterine contractions. You might not know the difference between a normal recovery and the symptoms of a complication — or when to seek medical care. If you give birth in a hospital, your health care team might not identify risk factors for serious postpartum complications before you are discharged.

Mothers also often don't see a health care provider until four to six weeks after childbirth, and as many as 40 percent don't attend a postpartum visit, likely due to limited resources. As a result, most receive little guidance on their postpartum recovery.

Common postpartum complications

the most common causes of pregnancy-related deaths were:

  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Other medical conditions often reflecting pre-existing illnesses
  • Infection or sepsis
  • Excessive bleeding after giving birth (hemorrhage)
  • A disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body (cardiomyopathy)
  • A blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs often caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs (thrombotic pulmonary embolism)
  • Stroke
  • High blood pressure (hypertensive) disorders of pregnancy
  • A rare but serious condition that occurs when amniotic fluid or fetal material, such as fetal cells, enters the mother's bloodstream (amniotic fluid embolism)
  • Anesthesia complications

Warning signs and symptoms

Many postpartum complications can be successfully treated if they're identified early. Seek emergency help if you have:

  • Chest pain
  • Obstructed breathing or shortness of breath
  • Seizures
  • Thoughts of hurting yourself or your baby
Call your health care provider if you have:
  • Bleeding and soaking through more than one pad an hour or blood clots the size of an egg or bigger
  • An incision that isn't healing
  • A red or swollen leg that's painful or warm to the touch
  • A temperature of 100.4 F (38 C) or higher
  • A headache that doesn't get better, even after taking medication, or a bad headache with vision changes
