Background Postnatal care (PNC) is an important tool for reducing maternal and neonatal
morbidity and mortality. However, what predicts receipt and maintenance in PNC,
particularly events during pregnancy and the peripartum period, is not well understood. We
hypothesized that fever or hypothermia during delivery would engender greater health
consciousness among those attending antenatal care, leading to greater PNC engagement
after hospital discharge and our objective was to evaluate this relationship.
