"Post-birth contractionsYou might think that once you’ve delivered your baby, your body is done having contractions, but this isn’t the case.Experiencing contractions after giving birth is completely natural. During pregnancy, your uterus grew to 25 times its original size, and now it has to get back to its pre-pregnancy size. Post-birth contractions are part of this process. These contractions also prevent you from bleeding after giving birth. And if you haven’t fully expelled the placenta, they’ll help you do so.&amp;nbsp;These cramps will be most intense during the first day or two after giving birth. Around the third day, they should become less intense and frequent. It can take about four to six weeks for your uterus to return to its pre-pregnancy size."
