Q

The diagnosis of subinvolution is made clinically.

A

At 2 weeks postpartum, the uterus is already a pelvic organ and by 6 weeks has returned to normal size.

48
Q

Subinvolution occurs when the normal shrinking of the uterus has slowed or stopped.

A

caused by retained placental fragments, infection, or fibroids. It is characterized by bleeding that increases or persists longer than the normal course of postpartum lochia. Examination may reveal a soft, boggy uterus that is larger than it should be for time postpartum. Subinvolution is treated with Ergotrate, or Methergine, and rest. A lochia culture should be taken to rule out concomittent endometritis, or uterine infection. If infection and/or retained products are implicated, you will need to consult.

Q

Postpartum depression (PPD) occurs in 10-15% of pregnancies

A

Depression can begin during the antepartum with subtle signs such as fatigue, anxiety, or change in sleep or appetite habits. Depression may only become recognized when exacerbated in postpartum. Infant attachment and bonding may be affected by the mother’s lack of response to infant cues such as cooing or crying.

52
Q

The depressed woman frequently does not have perspective on her situation, and often may be unable to reach out.

A

She may be anxious or have a flat affect. She may sleep a lot or have insomnia. She may be overly concerned about her baby, or may not be fully cued into the needs of her baby. With the poor follow-up we have in our country in the postpartum period, many cases of postpartum depression go unrecognized. This can have sad and serious consequences.

53
Q

The Edinburg Postpartum depression Scale and Beck’s Postpartum Depression Screening Scale (PDSS) have been well validated

A
