Health problems related to early discharge of Turkish women

mothers can experience many problems in the postpartum period. It is not possible to predict which mother will experience risks, such as an infection or mastitis. Therefore, women discharged from hospital in the first 24 hrs after birth should be educated about the problems that may arise during the postpartum period. They should also be given professional care and help in their own home by midwives working in the primary-care unit. Mothers should be told to notify their midwives about delivery and discharge in order to receive early follow-up in their homes. We suggest promoting maternal health education that encourages women to seek appropriate and timely care.
