The postpartum period is the time it takes for the womb to return to its normal state and the body to gradually return to its pre-pregnancy condition. Medically, it typically lasts 6-8 weeks (42-56 days). During this time, the most noticeable physical changes are uterine contractions and postpartum bleeding (lochia); while the amount and duration of bleeding varies by person, it typically decreases within 4-6 weeks and stops. Emotional and hormonal fluctuations are also natural parts of this period.
