During pregnancy, the uterus can stretch from the size of a peach to the size of a watermelon.
After birth, it begins an amazing process called involution, where the uterine muscles contract, excess tissue is shed, and blood vessels close.
Over the following weeks, the uterus gradually returns toward its pre-pregnancy size.
This powerful process shows just how resilient and capable the female body is of healing and recovery. There is strength built into you, even when the journey feels overwhelming.
