Professor Debra Bick, who is professor of evidence-based midwifery practice at King's College London, made the comments during a session called 'Postnatal care: moving out of the shadows' at the RCM Annual Conference earlier today (11 November).
She explained that postnatal care is often pushed to the side because resources are focused on antenatal and labour care instead, saying: "A good natural birth can be dissipated by poor postnatal care."
She added: "Sadly, we have seen fragmentation of the postnatal care service and I think it is just not being seen as a priority."
Professor Bick also said that women's physical and mental aspects of postnatal health need to be considered together, but currently, "we often don't know about the issues because we don't spend the time with women".
Helen Cheyne, RCM professor of midwifery, added that postnatal care has been "starved" of resources.
