Postpartum Khmer women actively engage in practices or seek advice to prevent complications. They roast to prevent “stuck blood,” place thorns under their roasting bed to prevent priey krawlah pleung, and avoid dangerous foods and heavy work to prevent relapse. When they do experience problems, they choose practitioners at least in part based on the suspected etiology of the problem. Traditional healers and TBAs were prized for their knowledge of and ability to deal with the supernatural world. But Khmer women in this study exhibited incredible pragmatism. If the treatment received from one source did not work, other practitioners were consulted or other treatment modalities tried. If priey krawlah pleung did not resolve after the traditional healer recited incantations and poured sacred water over them, some women reported seeking care from physicians, midwives, or nurses. Many women in this study cited distance and cost as the reason they accessed traditional rather than formal sector care, but nothing in this study suggested that women would not access formal sector care if it was available, affordable, and of good quality.
