Maternity period

The birth of a child is a very important to the child, obviously, as well as for the mother. It brings about physiological changes in the mother’s body.

Therefore, it is very important for the father to stand by the mother in such times. Even at the time of delivery, the mother needs the father by her side. The health of the child and the mother are in a very fragile state during, and after, the delivery process. Maternity refers to the state of being a mother, and is generally during the 26 weeks after the delivery process. Special care and attention needs to be given to both mother and child during this period.
