Question
Does a woman who gave birth at home need protection?
Answer
No.
Source
In the Gemara (Berachot 54b), it is explained that three need protection, and one of them is a woman who gave birth. However, it seems this applies only in the street, and this is the custom. Nevertheless, the Aruch HaShulchan (Even HaEzer, Siman 64, Seif 3) writes that a groom also needs protection at home, but in the case of a woman who gave birth, one can rely on the baby, and even for a groom and bride, they are lenient at home.
