Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium

(Puerperium, Puerperal, Childbirth)

Pregnancy is the time during which one or more offspring develops (gestates) inside a woman's uterus (womb). Childbirth, also known as labour and delivery, is the completion of pregnancy where one or more babies exits the internal environment of the mother via vaginal delivery or caesarean section. The postpartum (or postnatal) period begins after childbirth and is typically considered to end within 6 weeks as the mother's body, including hormone levels and uterus size, returns to a non-pregnant state.
