The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Postpartum is a medical term that describes a woman who has given birth. The "postpartum period" begins right after delivery and typically covers the 6-8 weeks following birth, during which the mother's body begins to return to its pre-pregnancy state. During this time, the uterus shrinks back, postpartum bleeding (lochia) occurs, hormonal changes happen, and breastfeeding begins. From a medical perspective, the postpartum period is a sensitive time that needs close monitoring for both physical recovery and emotional adjustment.
