Pregnancy and childbirth are unique periods in a woman's life, systemic, physiological and psychological experiences and transformations generated in this phase are characterized as a milestone. In this context, an important phase experienced by all women in the postpartum period stands out, the puerperium, which begins shortly after delivery and lasts an average of six weeks, and can last up to a year after delivery. Objectives: To know the main challenges of women in the postpartum period. And describe the construction of the Website Apoiare – puerperium, which was developed as a technological tool in health support and access to information for women in the puerperium. Methodology: This is a descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach carried out between April and September 2022 with eight women in the late postpartum period. The research was carried out in a basic health unit in the center of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. After the results, a Website was built from the evidenced needs. Results: The study presented the main challenges faced by postpartum women. Emotional aspects are the main difficulties, accompanied by physical limitations, resulting from cesarean sections and normal delivery with interventions. The research carried out with eight women who were in the late puerperium, showed that 50% of the puerperal women sought information on the internet regarding health and care for the baby, breastfeeding, medications, childbirth and signs and symptoms of pregnancy. Also, some participated in Facebook® groups or accessed Blogs to read the comments and feel welcome with the testimonies of other mothers, who had already experienced similar cases. In their perception, the woman during the postpartum period becomes invisible, as attention predominantly turns to the newborn. In this context, it was revealed, on the part of the study participants, the desire to create an online or face-to-face group for mothers or a support group for postpartum women. The technological product that originated from this dissertation is a website that can be an ally of women because it is a digital support network, as well as a reliable platform for health information. Final considerations: The internet was declared as a source of information, reception and clarification of doubts by half of the participants, the other half of the participants used the traditional method to solve doubts, seeking family members, friends or health professionals. It is suggested that further studies be carried out in the area, with a focus on promoting the health of postpartum women and presenting innovative strategies to support women in the postpartum period. Product and its applicability: the Website has the potential to benefit puerperal women and public health through welcoming, health education, exchange of experiences, quality of life, reduction of visits to the emergency room, among others.
