What women should know about postpartum care as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, enters the 'fourth trimester' after giving birth.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is no longer pregnant – she gave birth to a son named Archie on May 6 -- but she is still in what experts call the"fourth trimester" of pregnancy.
When asked about their personal obstacles to postpartum care, women cited many reasons, ranging from not having time, to feeling"selfish" for being overwhelmed, or simply feeling alone. The ACOG now recommends that all postpartum women have contact with their OB-GYN or obstetrics provider within the first three weeks after delivery, and that care should continue on an ongoing basis, ending with a"comprehensive postpartum visit no later than 12 weeks after birth."
Yet as many as 40% of U.S. women who have given birth do not attend a postpartum medical visit, according to ACOG. In addition to not receiving early monitoring and intervention for postpartum depression, women who do not receive postpartum medical care put themselves at risk for pregnancy-related death, which can occur up to a year after a woman gives birth.
