Ethical Considerations:

 In the present paper, the originality of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness are observed.

From the point of view of jurisprudence, the life of the fetus can be divided into two periods before and after the birth of the soul. Abortion is not permissible after the soul is breathed in, but abortion before the soul is breathed in is permissible under certain conditions. According to jurisprudence, the same point of view prevails in the subject law. From the point of view of jurisprudence and law, if there is an imperfect fetus and there is a risk to the mother's health, as well as extreme difficulty for her, it can be considered permissible to abort the fetus by resorting to the rule of hardship and difficulty. Of course, in Iranian law, with the approval of the law to protect the youth of the population, it has become very difficult to resort to the rule of no hardship and difficulty in permitting abortion due to fetal defects and the risk to the mother's health.

It is necessary for the legislator to have a broader approach and interpretation of the rule of hardship and difficulty and prevent the birth of disabled babies, which create very difficult conditions for parents. Also, regarding the difficulties that threaten the mother's health, a more realistic approach should be adopted so that this issue is not completely limited by the influence of population growth policies.

Providing postpartum services is one of the most important factors in prevention of adverse maternal outcomes. This study was performed with aim to evaluate the effect of postpartum home care on mothers’ health.

This clinical trial study was conducted on 62 mothers in the postpartum stage in Isfahan in 2015. Mothers were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire in triple visits of the post-partum period. Each intervention session at home, was provided according to the national protocol. Data was analyzed by SPSS software (version 18) and independent t‑test, Fisher's Exact, Chi‑square and Mann-Whitney tests. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

After the intervention, there was a statistically significant difference between experimental and control groups in terms of infection (p = 0.029) and pain and swelling at the suture site (p = 0.021) and feeling pain in the abdomen, thighs, breasts, teeth (p = 0.026). Therefore, the conditions were significantly better in the experimental group than the control group. Also, the mean score of knowledge of the correct pattern of breastfeeding (p = 0.02) and satisfaction with the performance of the health care team (p <0.001) was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group.

Providing postpartum home care services has increased maternal health, such as reducing abdominal, side, leg, thigh, breast and tooth pain, and episiotomy problems. This intervention improved the breastfeeding process and increased maternal satisfaction.
