The perinatal stage refers to the period surrounding childbirth, typically encompassing the late stages of pregnancy (around 20 weeks gestation) through the first few weeks after birth. This stage is crucial for the health and development of both the mother and the newborn, as it involves significant physical and emotional changes. Care during this time focuses on monitoring the health of the mother and baby, addressing any complications, and providing support for breastfeeding and early bonding.
