Glossary of Terms

Postnatal care
Care given to a mother after she has given birth. Usually this refers to the care given before she is released from the hospital, but can extend past discharge.

This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
