1
Warning Signs After Birth

I am [TIME] postpartum. List the warning signs that need urgent care: heavy bleeding, fever, severe headache, chest pain, leg swelling, and mood changes. For each, give the specific threshold, like how much bleeding is too much, and what to do.

2
Bleeding and Recovery Timeline

I am [TIME] postpartum after a [BIRTH TYPE]. Tell me what normal bleeding and recovery look like week by week, the specific signs of hemorrhage or infection, and when each symptom should resolve. Give numbers, not it varies.

3
Mood and Mental Health

I gave birth [TIME] ago and feel [SYMPTOMS]. Help me tell apart normal baby blues, postpartum depression, and anxiety, including how long each lasts and the signs that need help now. Tell me what the evidence shows works.

4
Breastfeeding Reality Check

I am [TIME] postpartum and breastfeeding with [THE ISSUE]. Give evidence-based steps for my problem, what is normal versus a real concern, and the warning signs of mastitis. Separate solid advice from myths.

5
Know Your Numbers

I am [TIME] postpartum. Tell me the numbers to watch: the blood pressure threshold that signals postpartum preeclampsia, normal versus worrying bleeding, the fever cutoff, and healthy newborn feeding and weight. Give the value that should prompt a call.

6
Cesarean or Tear Healing

I had a [BIRTH TYPE] [TIME] ago. Tell me what normal healing looks like, the signs of infection or a wound problem, what activity is safe and when, and the symptoms that need to be checked. Give a timeline with real markers.

7
Newborn Red Flags

My newborn is [AGE] with [THE SYMPTOM]. Tell me which newborn signs are normal, which need a same-day call, and which are emergencies. Give the specific thresholds, like the fever temperature that always needs care.

8
Contraception and Spacing

I am [TIME] postpartum and [FEEDING METHOD]. Explain my contraception options, which are safe now, how breastfeeding affects fertility in real numbers, and the evidence on how long to wait before the next pregnancy.

9
The Six-Week Visit and Beyond

I have my postpartum visit at six weeks. List the questions to ask and what should be checked: mood, bleeding, healing, blood pressure, and contraception. Tell me what the evidence says about why care should not stop at six weeks.

How to use these well. AI can fabricate numbers, references, and doses that look correct. Ask it to separate evidence from inference and to say when it is unsure. Bring the answers to your doctor, midwife, or care team and check them together. The goal is a better conversation built on numbers you both can see, not a diagnosis from a chatbot.
