Maintaining health standard of Working Women after delivery

Almost 120 countries in the world has provision for paid maternity leave for women in companies. Only countries like United States, Australia and New Zealand do not follow the paid maternity leave law entrusted by International Labor Organization.  Due to non existence of paid leave , women were facing difficulties while pregnancy. Job loss threat ensues women to work irrespective of pregnancy or health condition.  Women are the main source of income in some 30% of the households worldwide. Countries like Czech Republic provides 28 weeks paid maternity leave, Hungary provides 24 weeks, Italy provides 5 months, Canada provides 17 weeks etc. United States provides 3 Month unpaid maternity leave and this is allowed if the company has more than 50 employees.  There are some states in USA which provide paid maternity leave . The paid leave is ensured in some countries by the employers and in some countries by government social security.  


Mother, father and child should be encouraged to stay close to each other. This increases emotional bonding and strong attachment is developed between  the three. Child stays secure due to this closeness. Babies should be allowed to breastfeed during  the first hour of their delivery as it might affects the lactation of the mother.  Mothers  face immense level of emotional surge in postpartum period.  Some mothers  feel highly excited and enthusiastic and some feels drained, exhausted and sleepy.  All these experience is taken positively or negatively based on the labor pain or degree of difficulty in delivering a child. Women looses upto 500ml of blood during the delivery process.  So much irregularities followed by  obesity or distortion in figure results in lower self esteem and confidence. Primarily, women started wearing belly wrap like corsets and girdles to keep themselves fit and improve their appearance.  But, during pregnancy or after pregnancy there are certain medical compression available in the market which is designed to overcome unusal pelvic expansion.  C-section binder  are designed to have hook  and  zip for keeping it tight with the abdomen. It is advisable to wear the costume for atleast 14 hours a day. This might creates uncomfortable experience like heavy sweating , but, it is worth wearing to get back in shape.  Maternity girdle are available in many shape and sizes , but, should be used strictly under medical supervision.  Working women should consistently follow the diet, exercise for c-section and postpartum girdle and experience their weight loss program as Jessica Alba.
