In Brazil and Portuguese-speaking countries, postpartum wellbeing is increasingly recognized as a crucial healthcare priority. The concept encompasses not only physical recovery but also mental health awareness, with growing emphasis on screening for postpartum depression (depressão pós-parto) and anxiety. Family support and the role of 'doulas' or 'acompanhantes' (birth companions) are culturally significant in supporting maternal wellbeing during this period.
