We're very saddened by the whole situation. We're sad to lose a member of the postal family.

What we have is equipment standing idle in one place, and mail someplace else not far away waiting to be processed.

But people who are coming in later aren't necessarily looking for that. They're looking to get something off their kitchen table or out of their office that has to be mailed. It's going to benefit everybody in the community, as well as businesses.

This study highlights the need for ongoing rest and recovery beyond four to six weeks postpartum, and the need for more support for women.

Most of these women are returning to work anywhere from six to 12 weeks after giving birth. There isn't a lot of research out there on women's general postpartum health, and almost nothing specifically looking at working women.

We looked at post offices near train stations and where there are a lot of businesses around them.

What we found is these women had on average six different symptoms, and fatigue was the most common, followed by breast discomfort, and then decreased desire for sex.

Breast-feeding babies digest food more rapidly and need to feed more frequently. That's tiring for mom.
