Background:The postpartum period is described as the most essential, yet underappreciated, phase in the lives of mothers and babies; the majority of maternal and neonatal deaths occur during this time. As a result, improved follow-up care has an impact on maternal self-confidence aimed to evaluate the effect of prenatal educational guidelines on maternal practices and coping. Subjects and method: Design: a quasiexperimental design was used Setting: For selected women at the antenatal care clinics of family health units in Port-Said city, namely the El-Kuwait and Othman Bin Affan units Subjects: After meeting requirements, a total of 160 women were recruited. Three toolsThe structured interviewing scheduale, Postpartum Women's Practice Questionnaire, andCoping with Motherhood scale were used to collect data first. The Results In both the research and control groups, relatives and friends were the most stated sources of information. Women in the study group had higher practice, problem-focused and emotion-focused coping ratings than women in the control group beginning in the postintervention period, as well as more sufficient responses in stages 1 and 2 of follow-up, the difference was statistically significant (p 0.005). Conclusions: Educational instructions that were implemented had a positive impact on women's practices and coping mechanisms. Recommendations: To improve their practice and coping, all pregnant women should be advised about postnatal care discharge policies. In addition, more study is being conducted to determine the elements that influence women's involvement in these sessions.

“…The postpartum period also brings particular experiences for women about body sensations, this period being a single moment experienced by each woman in an individual and unique way. The perception of stretch marks, flaccidity, the different belly, the change in the size and shape of the breasts, and the presence of feelings of dissatisfaction with the new image that affects women's sexuality and self-confidence are reported in the literature, and were also observed in the text segments of the study (8,9,11) .…”

“…Research evidence point out that body changes, such as changes in breasts shape and in the body as a whole, can be seen as positive or not (4,6,7) . These changes, when negatively perceived, make women feel uncomfortable with their partner, causing feelings of dissatisfaction and body shaming (11,12) .…”

Objective: To describe and interpret a woman’s perception of her body image during the breastfeeding process. Method: Descriptive qualitative study conducted at a university hospital in the Southeast region, Brazil. Forty-three puerperal women who were breastfeeding were interviewed. The interviews were submitted to lexical analysis using the IRAMUTEQ software and interpreted based on the Interactive Theory of Breastfeeding. Results: Women report dissatisfaction with changes in body image during breastfeeding. But they also value and want to keep breastfeeding because of the benefits for the child. Finally, several women express the desire to perform plastic surgery in the future because of these body changes. Conclusion: The woman’s perception of her body image as satisfactory/unsatisfactory indicates that body changes cover the breastfeeding process with feelings of ambiguity.Body changes are perceived by women in a personal, subjective and complex way.

“…Throughout women's lives, periods involving great physical, hormonal, and psychosocial changes such as puberty, pregnancy, and post-partum have been identified as windows of vulnerability for increased body dissatisfaction. [17][18][19] However, investigations into the menopausal transition as a particular period of interest have been more limited, and the relationships between women's experience of menopause and their body image perception are not well understood.…”

Background: The menopausal transition involves multiple biological and psychosocial challenges that may render middle-aged women vulnerable to body image concerns. Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize evidence on the associations between menopause and body image perception in healthy middle-aged women. Design: This study is a systematic review of observational studies. Data sources and methods: Menopause-related exposure measures included menopausal stages, menopausal symptoms, and reproductive hormone levels during the menopausal transition. Studies investigating body image as an outcome, including through a positive (e.g. body self-esteem) or negative (e.g. body dissatisfaction) lens, were considered eligible. Articles published before March 2023 were identified through MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Embase and underwent double screening, extraction, and quality assessment by two independent investigators. Characteristics and results were summarized using narrative synthesis. Results: A total of 820 non-duplicate records were identified, with 18 observational studies deemed eligible for inclusion after full-text screening. All studies investigating menopausal symptoms and body image ( n = 6) found some significant association between them, with a higher frequency, intensity, or number of symptoms being associated with greater body image concern. Differences in body image perception between menopausal stages were inconsistent across studies ( n = 12), while evidence of potential associations between reproductive hormones and body image was minimal ( n = 2). Findings should be interpreted with caution as 17 of the included studies used a cross-sectional design, and not all studies adjusted their analyses for relevant confounders. Conclusion: Overall, menopausal symptoms showed relatively consistent associations with a more negative body image perception. Additional research is required to understand the potential role of menopausal stages and reproductive hormone levels in the body image perception of middle-aged women and to confirm the direction of reported associations.
