Postpartum depression (PPD) is more intense and longer-lasting than the "baby blues" that some mothers experience.
This is excessive bleeding after childbirth, often within the first 24 hours but can occur up to 12 weeks postpartum.
Common breastfeeding challenges include sore or cracked nipples, engorgement, mastitis (breast infection), and difficulty with latching.
New mothers often experience extreme fatigue due to physical recovery from childbirth, disrupted sleep, and the demands of caring for a newborn.
Pain in the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) is common, especially if there was tearing or an episiotomy during delivery.
