The postpartum period begins right after birth and typically lasts 6-8 weeks. This is the time it takes for the uterus to return to normal, for postpartum bleeding (lochia) to stop completely, and for the mother's body to return to its pre-pregnancy state.
The postpartum period begins with the birth of the baby and placenta, independent of delivery method (vaginal or cesarean). During this time, the mother undergoes physical recovery, and emotional fluctuations are a normal part of the process.
