Do you need to go back to the hospital for a checkup 30 days after delivery
Sitting on the moon is a folk saying, medically known as the puerperium.
Mothers who have experienced more than ten hours of labor and have consumed a lot of physical strength and energy need to recuperate and take care of themselves for a period of time after giving birth, which is commonly known as menstruation. Modern medicine believes that after the delivery of the fetus, the placenta, the maternal body (especially the uterus and other reproductive organs) and psychological aspects of the need to adjust to the recovery for a period of time, generally take 6 to 8 weeks, that is, 42 to 56 days, this period is known as the "puerperium".
