Introduction A common problem in women after childbirth is bleeding (5-8 percent). This is one of the leading causes of maternal death in Thailand. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage is approximately 1-2 percent of the births. A second problem is infection after birth which is a leading cause of illness and death of the mother. Incidence of infection after childbirth is 1-2 percent of women in developed countries and 5-10 percent of postpartum women overall. Staphylococcus aureus bacterium is found in the reproductive system of 5-9 percent of women. Perineal wound infections cause perineal pain. Thirdly is the problem of insufficient milk in foreign countries, mothers breastfeeding for less than 12 months total 94.7 percent. The fourth problem is difficult urination after vaginal delivery or 6 hours after removing the catheter in surgical cases. It is a common and important problem from 1.7 to 17.9 percent. The above problem causes infection and inflammation pain. The first 24 hours after birth to 6 weeks physical and physiological changes of maternal organs and systems occurs such as the decline in hormone levels. This includes human placental lactogen (HPL), human chorionic somatomammotropin (HCS), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, follicular stimulating hormones, luteinizing hormones. There is also blood loss. The clinical difficulties found in the postpartum period include after pain, perineal pain, breast engorgement, puerperal diuresis, weight loss, fever, pain and discomfort after birth. And the pain decreases or is lost in 3 days after birth. The original gate-control theory proposed that there is a physiological within the substantia gelatinosa of the spinal cord's dorsal horn grey matter. It is suggested that sensory signals can only pass through the cells in the substantia gelatinosa when the gate is open. When the gate is closed, sensory information is blocked, and this forms the basis of a kind of physiological pain relief. In relation to the 4 basic life elements of earth, water, wind and fire, the maternal body is lacking wind. This causes the fire to also decrease and the element of pain results. It becomes important to restore balance by stimulating blood circulation and herbal treatment is desirable to help the fire of the blood to speed the element of wind through the body. Thai Traditional Medicine is used to treat the pain of mothers after childbirth. Because of in balance of mind fire in the body. By this reason, the balance of fire and wind increase to spread the circulatory system. Medicinal plants can increase the element of fire and the wind. Also, in Thai Traditional Medicine concept, pain reduction for postpartum mothers includes regular massage, herbal steam, herbal breast compress, Tub Mhor Kluer, eating heat-producing food.

The first objective to determinate the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction in pregnant women and in the first year postpartum. The second objective is to assess the anatomical (both clinical and ultrasound), demographic and obstetric variables in symptomatic women and their association with pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual function and Body Image. This is a single center prospective cohort study. Women will be asked to fill out a questionnaire at the time of their 1st and 3rd trimester scan, at the postpartum checkup and 12 months postpartum. Furthermore, they will undergo a pelvic floor ultrasound at the time of their first and third trimester scan. The presence of pelvic floor dysfunctions will be recorded through validated self-administered questionnaires with five domains: Wexner questionnaire for anal incontinence, PAC-SYM for constipation, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form for urinary incontinence, the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory for pelvic organ prolapse, POP/UI Sexual Questionnaire - IUGA revised for sexual function. The body image perception will be assessed using the Dutch-validated version of the self-administered Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire. The anatomy of the pelvic floor will be objectively assessed off line on 3D/4D transperineal ultrasound volumes and POP-Q examination. The demographic variables and information about the pregnancy and the delivery will be obtained from the medical records.
Postpartum anxiety disorders are the most prevalent postpartum psychiatric conditions. Up to 16% of mothers experience postpartum anxiety or related disorders, such as OCD. With respect to the investigator's own community, this means that up to 3,313 women in West Virginia may struggle with postpartum anxiety or OCD. Left untreated, perinatal anxiety and OCD are associated with numerous adverse outcomes, such as maternal depression, preterm birth, impaired fetal development, low birthweight, difficulty breastfeeding, anxiety in children, and interference with parent-infant bonding. Critically, anxiety is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and substance use disorders, both significant West Virginia health disparities. Thus, there is a critical need to develop effective and scalable prevention programs to address postpartum anxiety and OCD. The purpose of this proposed community-engaged study is to develop and test the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of an Internet-delivered postpartum anxiety and OCD prevention program, called "Preventing Postpartum Onset Distress", or P-POD.
