Postpartum Assessment & Screening in Singapore

Bringing new life into the world is a profound and transformative experience. However, the postpartum period is often an overlooked chapter in a woman’s health journey.

At Prologue Wellness, we believe in providing holistic postpartum assessments to help women recover fully—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Our comprehensive postpartum assessment ensures that new mothers receive the care and support they need to regain vitality and thrive in their new stage of life.

What Is a Postpartum Assessment?

A postpartum assessment is a comprehensive health evaluation conducted after childbirth to assess a mother’s physical and mental well-being and adaptation to motherhood. This checkup goes beyond routine gynaecological reviews, addressing concerns such as hormonal imbalances, pelvic floor dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, and more.

Why Is a Postpartum Checkup Important?

Many women focus solely on their newborn’s health while neglecting their recovery.

 

A postpartum checkup is crucial to:

  • Identify and address common complications such as pelvic floor weakness, diastasis recti, back pain, or postpartum depression.
  • Monitor the healing of C-section incisions or perineal tears.
  • Evaluate new mothers’ energy levels, sleep patterns, and emotional well-being.
  • Provide nutritional and lifestyle guidance to promote holistic recovery.

Prioritising your postpartum health is as important as caring for your newborn, ensuring you recover fully and regain strength for the journey ahead. Prologue Wellness is here to support you with tailored care—because when mothers thrive, so do their families.

Why should I go for a postpartum comprehensive checkup?

Giving birth can impact mothers in ways big and small.

If a postpartum issue goes undetected and is neglected and prolonged, it can potentially lead to complications such as back pain, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel weakness and even issues with sex. 

Awareness, assessment and timely evidence-based treatment are crucial for recovering from such pregnancy and delivery, which is no minor body event. A comprehensive postpartum checkup consists of a dedicated 45-minute to hour-long session with one of our experienced team members 

Our women’s wellness educators are highly experienced and specialise in performing detailed examinations of the female body, addressing any issues promptly so that you may enjoy a smooth road to recovery and motherhood.

Who Should Consider a Postpartum Assessment – Eligibility & Timing

All new mothers benefit from a postpartum check, regardless of how straightforward or complex the delivery was. The weeks following childbirth bring rapid changes to the body, hormones, sleep, and mental health making timely assessment essential.

 

Who Should Consider It:

You should especially book a postpartum assessment if you:

  • Delivered vaginally or by C-section
  • Experience symptoms such as:
    • Persistent pain or heavy bleeding
    • Breastfeeding difficulty
    • Urinary leakage or pelvic heaviness
    • Low mood, irritability, or overwhelming worry
  • Have pre-existing conditions:
    • Thyroid disorders
    • Hypertension
    • Diabetes (including gestational diabetes)
    • Mental-health history
  • Had a pregnancy or birth with complications (e.g., pre-eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, instrumental delivery).

 

Ideal Timing for the Assessment:

  • Early visit: Often recommended around 2–3 weeks postpartum — to assess immediate recovery, wound healing, breastfeeding, and mental health.
  • Comprehensive check: Usually performed at 6–12 weeks postpartum — a thorough review of physical recovery, menstrual changes, pelvic floor function, and emotional well-being.
  • Additional visits: May be encouraged if symptoms persist or additional support is needed.

What to Expect During a Postpartum Assessment

During your postpartum checkup at Prologue Wellness, our professional team will conduct a tailored assessment, which will include a:

  • Physical examination: To evaluate posture, diastasis recti, pelvic floor integrity, and overall healing.
  • Pelvic floor health assessment: To identify any weakness or incontinence.
  • Nutritional evaluation: To ensure optimal nutrition.
  • Sleep and energy level assessment: To support your rest and recovery strategies. 

Common Postpartum Concerns Addressed

  • Pelvic floor weakness & incontinence (urinary leakage, pain, prolapse)
  • Diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation)
  • Hair loss and skin changes
  • Fatigue and low energy levels
  • Hormonal imbalances and menstrual irregularities
  • Mental health challenges (postpartum blues, depression, anxiety)
  • Sexual health concerns and libido changes

Key Areas of Focus in Postpartum Recovery

1

Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation)

During pregnancy, your abdominal muscles stretch to make space for your baby. After birth, some separation remains—diastasis recti can affect your core strength and posture. We assess the degree of separation and guide you through clinically safe, restorative exercises that support reconnection, strength, and healing from within.

2

Urinary Incontinence

Leaking when you move or sneeze is not “part of being a mum.” It’s simply a sign that your pelvic floor needs support. We offer personalised assessments, guided therapy, and treatments like BTL EMSELLA to help strengthen your muscles and restore ease and control—so you can laugh through life with more comfort and confidence.

3

Postpartum Skin Laxity

It’s common to notice loose or sagging skin after pregnancy, especially around the tummy. Through noninvasive, collagen-boosting treatments, we help support your skin’s natural ability to firm and regenerate so you can feel a little more at home in your body again.

4

Vaginal Dryness or Discomfort

Hormonal changes during postpartum and breastfeeding can cause vaginal dryness, irritation, or discomfort. These symptoms are common—but they’re also treatable. We offer a safe space to explore gentle solutions that restore hydration, comfort, and intimacy on your terms.

5

Post-Confinement Nutritional Needs

Your body needs time and nourishment to truly recover. Whether you’re breastfeeding, feeling depleted, or simply unsure what to prioritise, we’ll help you understand your body’s nutritional needs, suggest practical support, and restore balance from the inside out.

6

Postpartum Fatigue and Sleep Coaching

There’s tired—and then there’s postpartum tired. We take your fatigue seriously, exploring how sleep, hormones, and recovery are affecting your energy. Through personalised coaching and realistic strategies, we help you reclaim small moments of rest that build toward lasting resilience.

Supportive Therapies for Postpartum Healing

The treatment is quick, painless, and requires no downtime. 

When to Schedule a Postpartum Checkup

The ideal timeframe for a postpartum checkup varies, but general guidelines include:

  • First visit: 2-6 weeks post-delivery to assess early recovery.
  • Follow-up visits: To monitor healing and adjust recovery strategies.

I had a lovely time with Jodie, who taught me some prenatal yoga stretches and poses to do in my 3rd trimester, as well as valuable dietary advice as my baby was on the smaller side! The clinic space was really clean and inviting, and I really enjoyed my time here. Can’t wait to be back again post partum.

I'm really grateful to the team at Prologue for helping me improve my physical, mental, and hormonal health. Their holistic approach has been especially helpful in managing my PCOS, and I've felt genuinely supported throughout the process.

A special thank you to Jodie—I especially enjoyed the nutrition sessions and the floor work with therapeutic sound bath. Those sessions were both relaxing and restorative, and I always left feeling calmer, more refreshed, and more connected to my body. Thank you to the whole team for creating such a warm and positive healing environment!

Chanced upon Prologue when looking up health screening packages online and am so glad I decided to take this step with them as it’s become a life changing journey! Compared to my previous experiences, the review of my results with Dr Odelia was so thorough that it really woke me up about my health, and counter staff like Candy are so prompt with liaising with the hospitals for followup appointments and helpful with answering questions too!

Started health coaching with Jodie after, and I’ve left each session learning so much about how to take care of myself better, especially for the nutrition consults! Her experience as a dietitian makes her awesome at giving honest advice but also considers what would work in each person’s context so it’s practical for us. I also really enjoy the Floorworks sessions because I’ve learned so many different exercises from her than the standard boring gym exercises AND how to engage my core properly.

I also appreciate that they treat my mum so well too as we’ve been doing this together! Always receive a warm welcome from everyone when we come for appts or talks!! Hope management treats the staff well and retains them 🙂

100% recommend Prologue!

I had a really positive experience at Prologue throughout my 10 week guided transformation experience. The team was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely supportive every step of the way. They took the time to understand my concerns and tailored the treatment to my needs, which made a big difference in my progress and confidence.

I’ve seen clear, measurable results over time — my DR improved from 3.2cm (4cm at navel) in November to 2cm (2.8cm at navel) by March. Alongside the numbers, I also feel stronger through my core, with a flatter and more supported midsection and better stability during workouts.

Overall, I felt very well cared for and would definitely recommend Prologue to anyone looking for support in a professional and encouraging environment.

A very good experience with my healing process here at Prologue. What I thought was impossible actually became possible here. Not only did I lose weight, but I was also taught how to maintain my health through exercise and relaxation, with the help of Jodie, my dietitian. I will definitely choose Prologue again!

I have signed up for a 2nd package of BTL Emsella session for my maintenance therapy because it really works for my incontinence problem!
Since menopause & womb removal, my incontinence became worse, ie incontinence pads would overflow with a full bladder or lots of walking. My only solution was an invasive procedure which I dreaded.
In July this year, I came across Prologue BTL Emsella therapy from Instagram and that was my only hope for this annoying & worsening problem.
Under the very caring, professional and personalised team (Shonia, Serene & Jodie), I dutifully did BTL Emsella therapy twice weekly. Each time I was well pampered by these 3 jewels of Prologue.
By end Sept (2months later), my leakage improved tremendously. I was so happy during my holidays in Oct that there was no overflow and only had minimum leakage even when my bladder was full and with lots of walking. This could not have been possible if not for the BTL Emsella therapy I received from Prologue.
I am a living proof! I would strongly encourage and recommend ladies who are experiencing the same incontinence problems to get consultation n treatment at Prologue.

I am a senior woman who has struggled with bladder leaks for the past 26 years. As I am writing this, I have just completed my final (10th) session of treatment with Prologue Wellness. When I was first introduced to the Emsella and EmBody treatments, I was very skeptical. After so many years, I wondered if it was still possible for my condition to improve.

The wonderful, friendly, and professional team Shonia, Serene, and Jodi assured me that it was possible. They shared that many women with bladder leak issues had benefited from this treatment program before me, which gave me the confidence to give it a try.

After my body assessment, I was advised to undergo 10 sessions, twice a week, one hour each time, to achieve effective results. I decided to follow their recommendation. The treatments were comfortable, and both machines felt like they were giving me a gentle massage. I actually enjoyed the sessions. After just the first session, I could already feel my pelvic floor muscles tightening. By my second session, I requested full power and from then on I never looked back.

I could clearly feel both my pelvic floor and stomach core muscles getting stronger. Deep down, I knew I was improving with every visit. This treatment has significantly enhanced my quality of life. I no longer wake up so often at night to urinate and I now sleep much better with fewer night-time urges. I am also able to hold my bladder longer and get to the toilet in time. I did notice that drinking cold water affected my pelvic floor muscle strength, giving me a slight weak sensation but switching back to warm water helped improve it.

I would like to say a Big Thank You to Dr Kelvin Chua, Medical Director of SL Aesthetic Clinic and to the entire Prologue Wellness team Cheryl, Shonia, Serene, and Jodi for believing in the importance of women’s wellness. Highly Recommended.

Highly recommended.

I went to Prologue since Aug and had my last session today! I approached them as I was having really bad back pain and bloatedness in my stomach, and I suspect it was after I started to use the baby carrier more frequently. My son is a big baby too so carrying him in the third trimester was tough and probably affected my back. After six sessions at Prologue, both my back pain and bloatedness have disappeared and I am delighted to baby wear my son again! Shona, Serene and Jodie are really friendly too which makes every visit warm and inviting!

Jodie has been such a great help in my health journey! She really took the time to help me understand my body better and gave super practical tips that actually fit into my daily routine. I learned so much about portion control, and I love how she explained how nutrition and exercise can be adjusted around the menstrual cycle — it made everything click for me. She’s knowledgeable, approachable, and easy to talk to. I feel a lot more confident now about making choices that work for me. Highly recommend her!

Would highly recommend this place to postpartum ladies. Other than the many machine services to help with various issues such as DR, weak pelvic floor muscles and loose skin, they also have trained nutritionist and physiotherapist to help provide a holistic recovery experience! Truly glad that Proloque team has helped to resolved my DR and I have seen improvements in my core and pelvic floor muscles! Lastly, the space here is nicely done up and the team of ladies here are very friendly and professional.

I've been facing issues reducing weight around my belly and decided to try their treatments to help with my DR situation. After a few sessions, my DR gap improved and i also noticed less bloating. I can fit into my clothes better too. I love that they are holistic, offering nutrition consults as well as some floor work including yoga which i actually look forward to. I also tried their treatment to strengthen pelvic floor muscles which was quite relaxing and often put me to sleep. The entire team is always cheerful and they have a great selection of tea that completes the experience. 10/10 recommend and thanks for helping me on my weight loss journey!

The struggles of postpartum recovery are real, and I’m so thankful to have found Prologue, a women’s wellness centre that truly understands and supports mothers like me.

Like many postpartum mums, I’ve been dealing with diastasis recti, a bulging tummy that makes me look pregnant, urinary incontinence that limits my activity with my kids, and difficulty losing pregnancy weight due to stress eating and late nights.

Since starting my personalised treatment plan here, I’ve seen real improvements. Weekly sessions with my nutritionist, Jodie, have helped me eat in a balanced and sustainable way. Physiotherapy sessions with Chloe and Jodie have strengthened my core and pelvic floor, while the Emsella chair has improved my incontinence. Embody treatments are helping with my DR, shockwave therapy is reducing bloating and stretch marks, and Exion Body treatments are tightening loose skin.

I’m truly grateful for the professional, encouraging, and caring team at Prologue who have supported me every step of the way. Highly recommended to any postpartum mother looking to recover, rebuild, and regain confidence.
