በቅርቡ ልጅ እጠብቃለሁ እና ከወለድኩ በኋላ በመጀመሪያው ሰዓት ምን ማድረግ እንዳለብኝ ማወቅ እፈልጋለሁ። በኢትዮጵያ የሚመከሩ የተወሰኑ ልምዶች፣ የሕክምና ምርመራዎች ወይም የእንክብካቤ እርምጃዎች አሉ? የጤና አጠባበቅ አቅራቢዎች በተለምዶ የሚያደርጉትን እና በዚህ ወሳኝ የመጀመሪያ ሰዓት ምን ማወቅ እንዳለብኝ መረዳት እፈልጋለሁ።

I'm expecting a baby soon and want to know what I should do in the first hour after giving birth. Are there specific practices, medical checks, or care steps that are recommended in Ethiopia? I'd like to understand both what healthcare providers typically do and what I should be aware of during this critical first hour.
