Home care of the mother includes all activities that support her recovery after childbirth, both physically and emotionally. This period is challenging as a woman's body goes through changes as it returns to its pre-pregnancy state. Care includes help with daily tasks, hygiene, nutrition, rest and emotional support. In addition, care focuses on monitoring recovery as well as caring for the newborn.

Maternal home care includes physical and emotional support. In the first few weeks, help is needed with daily activities, such as cooking, cleaning and taking care of the baby. It is important for a woman in labor to rest, take care of hygiene and follow the doctor's advice. Regular breastfeeding, a healthy diet and hydration are also key to her recovery. Helping to care for the baby, as well as providing emotional support, are very important, as many women may experience postpartum depression or anxiety.

Maternity care usually lasts from a few weeks to a few months. In the first weeks, more help is needed in daily tasks, while as time goes by, the intensity of help decreases. Full recovery usually takes 6-8 weeks, and during that period, medical monitoring is important, as well as emotional support from family and loved ones.
