This is certainly an important period that women should not take it lightly. Postpartum period should not be neglected even if the mother is young and fit.

After childbirth, rightfully the mother should have no problem to sit upright. However, due to the great pain felt during delivery, some women experience symptoms such as increase in heart rate,  blood vessels expansion, thickened myocardium.
