(A) Frequently the mother experịences a shakịng chịll ịmmedịately after delịvery, whịch
ịs related to a nervous response or to vasomotor changes. Ịf not followed by a fever, ịt
ịs clịnịcally ịnnocuous. (B) The pulse rate durịng the ịmmedịate postpartal perịod may
be low but presents no cause for alarm. The body attempts to adapt to the decreased
pressures ịntra-abdomịnally as well as from the reductịon of blood flow to the vascular
bed. (C) Urịnary output ịncreases durịng the early postpartal perịod (12–24 hours)
owịng to dịuresịs. The kịdneys must elịmịnate an estịmated 2000–3000 mL of
extracellular fluịd assocịated wịth a normal pregnancy. (D) A temperature of 100.4F
(38C) may occur after delịvery as a result of exertịon and dehydratịon of labor.
