new mother
Just gave birth
A new mother is a woman who has recently given birth or adopted a child, typically within the first year.
The phrase emphasizes the adjustment period—learning to care for an infant while recovering physically and emotionally: As a new mother, she found the sleep deprivation overwhelming.
New mothers are often the focus of medical advice, workplace policies, and social support systems.
