Objectives: Management of the postpartum period is important for the health of mothers, and postpartum edema is one of the management targets. In this study, the relationship between the value measured by the device and the postpartum edema sensation was examined to explain the subjective sensation of the mother as an objective value. Methods: Data from 54 cases provided by 24 mothers within 6 weeks postpartum were used in the study. The degree of postpartum edema sensation was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS), and the effect of VAS changes on the body edema index and weight change before and after childbirth was estimated through linear regression analysis. Results: As a result of the regression analysis, when the edema sensation of the mothers VAS increased by 1 point, the Inbody edema index increased by 0.002 points (p=0.000, R 2 =0.272), and when the VAS increased by 1 point, the weight gain increased by 0.99 kg compared to before pregnancy (p=0.000, R 2 =0.243), and when VAS increased by 1 point, weight loss decreased by 0.56 kg compared to just before childbirth (p=0.004, R 2 =0.136). Conclusions: The results of this study, in which the edema sensation of postpartum mothers was statistically significantly related to the edema index and weight change before and after childbirth, showed that the edema sensation complained by the mother could be used as an evaluation index for postpartum edema management in the future.
