The first 100 days after childbirth
This is the first study to have used electronic health records from primary care to examine women’s actual care use in the 100 days following childbirth. Results show the reasons for attending primary care and the kinds of support requested, as well as maternal age differences in reasons for seeking primary care support. This research indicates ways that primary care can meet the varied needs of women following childbirth, including during recovery from pregnancy and delivery, and help women thrive in the weeks and months following birth.
