One in four Norwegian women skip free postnatal check-ups due to poor awareness and communication, despite valuing the care.
A Norwegian study finds one in four women skip their postnatal check-up despite it being free and highly valued by those who attend.
Conducted by Christine Agdestein at NTNU, the research shows women appreciate discussing birth experiences, mental health, and gynecological care, but many miss the visit due to lack of awareness, perceived low need, or inadequate information.
Only 44% received guidance from maternity wards, and 18% learned from friends or social media.
The findings highlight systemic gaps in outreach and access, especially for women with chronic conditions or complicated births, prompting plans for improved tools and clearer communication to boost attendance.
