Detailed description: 
      The puerperium is a critical phase for women , not only does it have a significant impact on
      the mental and physical health of fresh mothers, but it can also be one of the most stressful
      moments in a woman's life .Serious psycho- social problems, including fatigue, depression,
      and stress, have been reported that occurred during the postpartum period. As a result,
      postpartum psychological problems can affect the new mother's ability to care for children
      and affect her quality of life. Sleep problems, such as poor sleep quality and sleep
      disturbance, often occur in perinatal and postnatal women.Studies have shown that non-
      pharmacological interventions for postoperative pain reduce pain intensity. One of these
      non-pharmacological methods is the diaphragm breathing method (DBE).DBE, also known as
      Diaphragmatic Breathing or Deep Breathing, is an effective holistic mind body workout for
      coping with stress and physical and mental conditions.Postpartum fatigue is considered the
      foremost common issue that postnatal ladies stand up to when they move to
      motherhood.postpartum fatigue is described as sentiments of fatigue,suffocation and
      diminishes in physical and mental capacity.

      This study will be a randomized clinical trial. Sample will be collected through convenient
      sampling technique.Randomization will be done through lottery method and patients will be
      divided into two groups. Group A will receive both aerobic exercises and diaphragmatic
      breathing exercise. Exercise programs will consist of 1 set of contractions per day and each
      set will include 30 repetitions for 6 weeks. Exercise protocol consist of at least 150
      minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week dividing the 150 minutes into
      30-minute workouts on 5 days of the week or into smaller 10-minute sessions throughout each
      day will be carried out for 6 weeks.Group B will receive only diaphragmatic breathing
      exercise. Exercise programs will consist of 1 set of contractions per day and each set will
      include 30 repetitions for 6 weeks. Data will be collected before and after treatment .data
      will be analyzed through SPPS 25.
