when does the postpartum period begin and end
Postpartum period The postpartum period can be divided into three distinct stages; the initial or acute phase, 6-12 hours after childbirth; subacute postpartum period, which lasts 2-6 weeks, and the delayed postpartum period, which can last up to 6 months.[2] In the subacute postpartum period, 87% to 94% of women report at least one health problem.[6][7] Long term health problems (persisting after the delayed postpartum period) are reported by 31% of women.[8]

Pregnancy Weeks 13 to 28 of the pregnancy are called the second trimester. Most women feel more energized in this period, and begin to put on weight as the symptoms of morning sickness subside and eventually fade away. The uterus, the muscular organ that holds the developing fetus, can expand up to 20 times its normal size during pregnancy.
