产后护理是指针对分娩女性所做的护理工作，而这段时期也叫产褥或产褥期。该护理工作视各地民情，经济等因素，而有不同的照料方式。例如中国或越南等亚洲国家即有名称为坐月子的产后护理工作，该工作过程且有相当多类型的护理禁忌等。不过即使在欧美国家，产后护理亦日渐受重视，例如防治产后忧郁症亦可视为产后护理的新目标之一。

A postpartum period or postnatal period is the period beginning immediately after the birth of a child and extending for about six weeks. Less frequently used are the terms puerperium or puerperal period. The World Health Organization (WHO) describes the postnatal period as the most critical and yet the most neglected phase in the lives of mothers and babies; most deaths occur during the postnatal period. It is the time after birth, a time in which the mother's body, including hormone levels and uterus size, returns to a non-pregnant state. Lochia is postpartum vaginal discharge, containing blood, mucus, and uterine tissue.
