Postpartum check for the birthing parent (6 weeks)

Most children: 4w–8w

What it is

Physical recovery, contraception, and a mood check (postpartum depression screening) at the gynecologist/kupah.

Start preparing

1. Tipat Halav nurses screen for postpartum depression (EPDS) at the early visits — answer honestly; help is fast and effective.
2. Sleep in shifts if you can; a 4-hour block protects mood more than the total hours.
