The main causes for these limitations were pain, vaginal heaviness and urinary incontinence, sensations of instability, and hesitancy to start exercising. Cohort 2 revealed the theme 'Surprised by the transition to an unknown body,' illustrating women's insecurity about new bodily experiences after childbirth and an experienced need for understanding. The struggle of accepting and adjusting to physical changes contrasts with trust in their bodies' recovery and ability to adapt life to changes. Recovery can be seen as an accomplishment. Unexpected, unfamiliar physical changes can lead to fear of incomplete recovery and sadness about losing the prepregnancy body. The combination of breastfeeding and hormonal changes while recovering from physical changes can be challenging.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Pain, urinary incontinence, and unfamiliar pelvic sensations, such as vaginal heaviness, can limit postpartum activities.

Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using structured demographic forms and semi-structured interview guides. Interviews were audio-recorded and analyzed thematically.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Participants reported various traditional practices, such as withholding colostrum, tightly swaddling the infant, delaying bathing until the 40th day, making razor blade incisions for jaundice, applying salt or olive oil mixtures to the newborn, and using the \"höllük\" cradle (a traditional wooden cradle). These practices were largely transmitted through intergenerational advice, particularly from elder family members.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study highlights a range of traditional practices that persist during the first 1,000 days of life, some of which may be potentially harmful. Antenatal counseling that includes family elders may help reduce harmful practices and promote safer caregiving behaviors.</p>","PeriodicalId":9033,"journal":{"name":"BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth","volume":"25 1","pages":"991"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145205332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
