QUOTES
“Understanding the postpartum period and choosing a definition (or in this case, time frame) is crucial in keeping an eye out for how mom is traveling along after the birth.”
“I'm very glad that the modern physicians in obstetrics are very open to redefining the postpartum period whenever that needs to be done. This shows that they're in touch about what the modern woman and modern mom needs and wants today.”
“It's important to choose a definition of how long this time is so that businesses and health providers can focus on tailoring products and services for what moms need during this specific time.”
