 As my very first blog post I am happy to discuss a common misconception about what is considered postpartum. I recently posted about this on Instagram as part of my weekly Misconception Monday series since many people have never heard before that once you are postpartum you're always postpartum. If you were to look up what is considered postpartum, it is generally the time after a woman gives birth from 2 weeks to 6 months. This is what is thought of as the time it takes a woman's body to return to a non-pregnant state.
I believe postpartum being considered 2 weeks to 6 months after delivering a baby is a huge misconception since every woman's body heals at a different rate due to factors including hormone levels, breastfeeding, and genetics just to name a few. I personally experienced the most drastic changes in my body happening in my 2nd postpartum year after delivering my son (when I was several months removed from breastfeeding).
