Diastasis of the recti muscles is a common condition that can occur postpartum, and the patient should be taught exercises to help address it. Puerperal tachycardia is a normal response to pregnancy and delivery, and not typically a major focus of postpartum teaching. Striae and chloasma are cosmetic concerns and not typically addressed in postpartum teaching. HELLP syndrome is a serious complication of pregnancy that typically presents before or during delivery and would require immediate medical attention, but is not typically a subject of postpartum teaching.
