Postnatal (
Latin for 'after birth') is the period beginning immediately after the
birth of a child and extending for about six weeks. The period is also known as postpartum period and, less commonly, puerperium.
Biologically, it is the time after birth, a time in which the mother's body, including
hormone levels and
uterus size, return to prepregnancy conditions.
Lochia is post-partum vaginal discharge, containing blood, mucus, and placental tissue. During the first stages of this period, the
newborn also starts his or her
adaptation to extrauterine life, the most significant physiological transition until death.
