Use this public screening tool to recognise whether your current postpartum symptom burden may deserve earlier review or stronger support.
A public tool on the InsideHer website
Designed to help people recognise patterns earlier and prepare for clearer care conversations.
Postpartum recovery can become heavy long before someone feels confident saying “this is too much”. This tool keeps recovery symptoms, emotional strain, and urgency signs in the same picture.
What to do first
Move through the steps in order, select only what is clearly true, and use the result as a care-prep summary rather than a final answer.
How it works
You move through symptom groups, support clues, broader context, and urgency flags. InsideHer then gives you a clearer support summary and next step.
What it helps with
Recognising whether recovery strain, low mood, anxiety, exhaustion, or daily-life disruption are clustering in a way that deserves more support after birth.
What this does not do
This tool does not replace urgent postpartum review or emergency help. If you feel unsafe, severely unwell, or overwhelmed, seek support promptly.
Your postpartum support result
This is based on how recovery, sleep, feeding, pelvic health, and emotional load are affecting daily life.
Limited higher-burden postpartum signal right now
Your current answers do not show a strong higher-burden support signal from this screen alone.

Recommended next step
Keep tracking if mood, feeding, pain, continence, or recovery begin to feel harder than expected to carry.
This is a less clear classic pattern, not a dismissal.
A lower signal does not mean your symptoms are not real. It means the pattern is less clearly classic in this tool, and ongoing disruptive symptoms still deserve review.

What this result means in Global guidance
Screening timing, referral thresholds, and follow-up pathways vary by country. Use this result to prepare for care, not as a universal rule.
