Pregnancy and Postpartum
Pregnancy is the period when a woman carries a developing fetus inside her uterus, typically lasting about nine months. It involves various physical changes as the body supports fetal growth, including hormonal shifts and bodily adjustments. Postpartum refers to the time after childbirth, during which the body recovers and adjusts back to a non-pregnant state. This period also involves emotional changes, bonding with the baby, and potential challenges like fatigue or mood swings. Both phases are vital for the health and well-being of mother and baby, with medical guidance helping ensure a safe pregnancy and recovery.
