Assessing the Effect of Post-Natal Exercise on Involution of Uterus after Normal Vaginal Delivery among Post-Natal Mothers

Abstract

yet the most neglected phase in the lives of mothers. To prevent certain complications during the post-natal period exercise is an important component of post-natal care for the involution of the uterus, so such mothers must practice post-natal exercise to prevent such a complication after delivery. A quasi-experimental research design was used. Convenience sampling techniques were used to collect 70 samples. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Majority of post-natal mothers belonged to the 18-20 and 21-25 years of age group (34.3%). In both groups, majority of post-natal mothers belonged to the joint family. Pre-test results in the experimental group: mild involution (51.4%) moderate involution (48.6%), and no good involution (0%) while post-test in the experimental group showed mild involution (0%), moderate involution (11.4%), and good involution (88.6%). The chi-square value was carried out to bring the associnormal vaginal delivery, to reduce the risk of complications after delivery. The authors are: 1. Assistant Professor; 2.

India’s maternal mortality ratio (MMR) has improved from 113 in 2016-18 to 103 in 2017-19. This is according to the special bulletin on MMR released by the Registrar General of India on 14 March 2022. In Gujarat, the MMR rate is registered as 91 in 2022 so we have to undertake many efforts to reduce the MMR. After childbirth, you're likely focused on caring for your baby. But health problems, some life-threatening, can happen in the weeks and months. It is estimated that 50 percent hours. At this time the involution process occurred. Involutionary disorders cause complications which is the leading cause of maternal mortality. The postpartum (or post-natal) period begins immediately after childbirth as the mother's body, including hormone levels and uterus size, returns to a non-pregnant state. The terms puerperium, puerperal period, or immediate postpartum peweeks following childbirth. The WHO describes the post-natal period as the most critical and yet the most neglected phase in the lives of mothers and babies; most maternal and new-born deaths occur during this period 24 hours and 66 percent deaths occur during the during the pregnancy. They usually go back to normal after birth, but sometimes they can stay separated. The mother will need to do exercises to strengthen these muscles to avoid back pain ligaments that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel can be weakened after pregnancy, especially if mother had a large baby or is pushed for a long time. Regular exercises will help to strengthen pelThe postpartum period starts following childbirth and ends at 42 days. The post-natal period is the time during which the mother’s body adjusts physically to the childbearing process and reverts to its pre-pregnant state. It is associated with complications like postpartum haemorrhage, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, gravita
