Maternal worries consisted of genitalia pain, sutures, and subsequent infection possibilities, and regarding their babies' mothers were also worried about jaundice, diaper rashes, safety, infections, crying and problems of their infant protection during absence of themselves. Family related worries were sexual resumption and also another pregnancy. However, there were many issues in which mothers were interested or had confidences.
