Pregnancy is the best gift of nature to women. The fabulous phase of pregnancy and delivery bring about many physiological as well as psychological changes in women. Hence, every new mom needs a recovery period after delivery.

For many women around the world, post delivery care comes from partners, family, and friends who try to help the new mom regain her strength and help focus on bonding with her baby. The type of support and care they get vary around the globe.

In developed Western countries, the mother receives much attention during pregnancy. However, once the baby is born, much focus will be on the baby. The situation is the reverse in many Asian countries.

In Asian countries, many new moms practice the tradition of postpartum confinement after the birth of a child. In Latin American countries like Mexico, Panama, Cuba etc, the tradition of "cuarentena" is practiced that lasts up to 40 days.

In India, the confinement period usually last from 40 to 60 days. Besides rest and special meals, the new mom may also receive a daily massage to soothe her body and help her blood circulation.

Irrespective of cultural beliefs of new mothers across the world, it is certain that every new mom needs all the help she may get in first few weeks after birth of a child.
