Most maternal deaths happen after birth — not during it. And most new moms go home from the hospital with a newborn, a discharge paper, and no plan for what comes next.
In this final episode of the Birth Plan Builder series, Dr. Tiffany Woodus — Board-Certified OBGYN with 20 years of experience and over 3,000 babies delivered — breaks down what actually happens in the six-week postpartum window, what warning signs new moms are most likely to dismiss, and how to bridge from your birth plan into a real postpartum monitoring strategy.
Including the symptom that sent one of her patients to the ER at ten days postpartum — and what she wishes that patient had known before she ever left the hospital.
