Under the influence of expectations, goals, values, and standards of the postpartum period, women's perceptions of their situation in life change fundamentally. For instance, economic issues are not as crucial as "newborn bonding with the mother " and "caring and breastfeeding " for the mother in the postpartum period.This study showed that in the first six weeks after delivery, economic issues do not affect the quality of life, and it seems that this is a remarkable and essential finding. On the other hand, the "support received " is the most crucial issue of this period.
