New mothers, are you worried about postpartum recovery? Knowing these potential danger signals will make your postpartum recovery more secure.

1 Abnormal bleeding

Postpartum bleeding is normal, but if the amount of bleeding is too much, the color is abnormal or the duration is too long, it may be a sign of uterine bleeding or other complications, and you need to seek medical attention in time.

2 high fever

Fever is common, but if postpartum fever persists, especially symptoms such as breast redness, pain or foul-smelling secretions, it may be a sign of infection.

3 Strong abdominal pain

Postpartum abdominal pain is common, but if it is serious, it may be a symptom of serious problems such as endometritis and uterine rupture, which can not be ignored.

4 dyspnea

Postpartum dyspnea may be related to pulmonary embolism. If you have symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest tightness or cough, you should seek medical attention immediately.

5 consciousness change

If dizziness, coma or confusion occur, it may be a sign of serious complications such as stroke or cerebral hemorrhage.

Six breast problems

Breast swelling, pain, lump or purulent discharge may be symptoms of mastitis or breast abscess, which need timely treatment.

7 Frequent urination and urgency

Postpartum frequent urination, urgency, dysuria or hematuria may be signs of urinary tract infection, so you should seek medical attention in time.

8 Emotional changes

Postpartum mood swings are normal, but if you have serious symptoms such as depression, anxiety, hallucinations or suicidal thoughts, you should seek professional help.
