Glossary Postpartum

time after childbirth when a mother's body recovers

Postpartum, also known as postnatal or the period after childbirth, refers to the time following the delivery of a baby when the mother's body undergoes various physical and hormonal changes as it returns to a non-pregnant state. This period typically lasts about six weeks but can extend longer, and it involves recovery from childbirth, lactation initiation, and emotional adjustments, which can sometimes include postpartum depression.
