How long does it take for the uterus to return to normal after childbirth?

Expectant mothers have to go through a series of efforts to get pregnant with their babies, and finally give birth to their babies after ten months of careful care. Especially during childbirth, the pain that expectant mothers experience is unimaginable for ordinary people. Therefore, being a mother is a great profession, but also a responsibility and a mission. Expectant mothers also cause certain damage to the uterus, so we need to restore the uterus to health as soon as possible.

How many days after delivery does the uterus return to normal

The process by which the uterus gradually returns to its normal state after childbirth is called uterine involution. On the day after delivery, the fundus of the uterus is level with the navel or about one finger below the navel. It will then descend 1 to 2 cm every day, enter the pelvic cavity after 10 to 12 days, and return to its normal size after 6 weeks. Go to the hospital for a check-up when the period is due. If the uterus is not restored properly, seek timely treatment. Generally, the uterus returns to normal 42 days after delivery, but the recovery time may take a little longer in some cases. The uterus will return to normal 6 months after the caesarean section, and pregnancy can be achieved at least 2-3 years after the caesarean section.

It's different for different people. The factors that determine how fast the uterus recovers include: nutrition, the pregnant woman's recovery gymnastics, that is, postpartum exercise, personal physique, whether breastfeeding is conducive to the body's recovery, and the baby's stimulation causing uterine contraction.

Generally, the uterus of a woman with a good physical condition can completely recover 20 days after delivery, while for those with a slower physical condition, it may take 30 days, or even 40 days at the latest. After a caesarean section, you should actively take care of your body. You can use Wu Ji Bai Feng Pills and donkey-hide gelatin to replenish blood and nourish qi. You can also stew black chicken with astragalus, codonopsis, and rehmannia.
