Formula used

This calculator converts each input to a 0–100 normalized score, then blends those values into six wellness areas. Higher protective values improve the score, while strain-heavy values reduce it.

Normalized examples

  • Mood Score = Mood × 10
  • Sleep Score = min(Sleep Hours ÷ 8, 1) × 100
  • Low Anxiety Score = (10 − Anxiety) × 10
  • Low Stress Score = (10 − Stress) × 10
  • Crying Score = max(0, 100 − Crying Episodes × 15)

Overall weighted score

Overall Score = (Emotional Balance × 0.30) + (Support Strength × 0.20) + (Rest & Energy × 0.20) + (Recovery Capacity × 0.12) + (Routine Stability × 0.10) + (Physical Comfort × 0.08)

This structure supports trend tracking and conversations, not diagnosis. Clinical decisions should come from qualified professionals.

Frequently asked questions

1. Is this tracker a diagnosis tool?

No. It is a structured wellness tracker for daily reflection, pattern review, and better conversations with a clinician, counselor, midwife, or support network.

2. How often should I use it?

Daily entries work best because mood, sleep, and support can change quickly after birth. Consistent entries make it easier to notice patterns rather than one difficult day.

3. What score is considered concerning?

Lower scores suggest more strain. Scores below 65 deserve closer attention, while scores below 50 may justify prompt support, especially if symptoms persist or intensify.

4. Why are sleep and support weighted strongly?

Postpartum recovery is often shaped by rest, emotional load, and practical help. These factors can influence mood, coping capacity, physical comfort, and bonding confidence.

5. Can families or partners use this page too?

Yes. Families can use the output to understand daily recovery patterns, prepare calmer discussions, and help coordinate support around rest, meals, appointments, and childcare.

6. What should I do with the notes box?

Use notes for appointments, medication changes, feeding disruptions, stressful events, pain, or helpful routines. Those details make trends much easier to interpret later.

7. Does one bad day always mean a serious problem?

Not always. One difficult day can happen during recovery. Repeated low scores, rising strain flags, or worsening symptoms matter more than a single isolated entry.

8. When should urgent help be sought?

Seek urgent local medical or emergency help right away if symptoms feel severe, rapidly worsening, unsafe, or impossible to manage. Immediate safety comes before tracking.
