Your womb enlarges up to 1,000 grams during pregnancy. And, it will shrink about 50 grams right after delivery.

The shrinking process occurs while you have contractions for you are producing a hormone called oxytocin.

That’s why doctors ask you to breastfeed the baby right away after delivery. Because while you breastfeed, your gland also releases oxytocin.

So, it’s good for you, it’s good for your baby.
