Question 3 of 5

A temperature of up to 38°C (100.4°F) is common during the first 24 hours after childbirth and may be caused by dehydration or normal postpartum leukocytosis. The resulting engorgement of abdominal blood vessels contributes to a rapid fall in BP of 15 to 20 mm Hg systolic when the woman moves from a recumbent to a sitting position. This change causes mothers to feel dizzy or lightheaded or to faint when they stand.

She is in the taking-in phase, trying to make the birth experience seem real. This is to satisfy her needs, not the needs of others.
