Exploring the range and extent of ill-health is essential not only to build our understanding of the postpartum disease burden but also to identify the care-seeking behaviours associated with self-reported morbidity in order to improve service delivery. This aspect has also been neglected in the literature with only few studies discussing postpartum health care-seeking behaviour of women. Brown and Lumley report that 72% of women who had health problems after delivery sought the help of a health professional in a sample of 1336 women from Victoria, Australia. In contrast, 49% of women who reported postpartum morbidities sought care from informal providers and 45% from formal providers in India.
