Puerperal psychosis is also called post partum psychosis or post natal psychosis: all three are the same condition. Whilst it is rare condition, it is not uncommon. A small minority of women (0.1%) develops puerperal psychosis, a rare psychotic type of mental disturbance, shortly after giving birth.

Many women find they leak urine especially after having a baby, and part of the reason could be weak pelvic floor muscles. Ideally, you should start these pelvic floor exercises while you are pregnant, if not before. Doing pelvic floor exercises helps your muscles to stretch during labour and spring back into shape afterwards.

Yes, the hard part is over, but you can't say goodbye to those weird aches and pains just yet. Since the moment you conceived, you've been preparing - both physically and mentally - for labour. You've battled to comprehend the inevitable conclusion to your pregnant state and, well, your mind hasn't really gone any further than that.
